  • The planned cancellation of Czech television and radio license fees is likely to be delayed by one year.
  • ANO lawmaker Patrik Nacher said the fees may end on Jan. 1, 2028, if the 2027 deadline is missed.
  • He said the shift could apply even if lawmakers complete the legislation in March.

The Czech government’s planned abolition of television and radio license fees is likely to take effect a year later than previously expected. Patrik Nacher, deputy speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and an ANO lawmaker, has become the first coalition politician to acknowledge the possibility.

If the change cannot begin on Jan. 1, 2027, the next logical date would be Jan. 1, 2028, Nacher said in an interview with iDNES.cz’s Rozstřel. That would apply even if lawmakers had already prepared the legislation by March.

“If we do not manage it by January 1, 2027, logic dictates that it should move to January 1, 2028, even if the law were ready, for example, in March,” Nacher said.
