CEO of the Czech Television, Petr Dvořák, has not yet specified job positions affected by the collective dismissal. He entered into negotiations with trade unions and assumes that the redundancies will be evenly distributed both in Prague and the regions.Czech Television currently employs around 3,000 people.
