Czech broadcasters have begun a pre-election marathon ahead of October’s local and Senate elections. Public-service media and the country’s two largest commercial television stations are already preparing extensive political coverage.
Viewers can expect debates from major cities as well as smaller municipalities. Broadcasters will also air interviews with candidates and head-to-head debates between Senate candidates before the second round of voting.
Czech Radio launched its own pre-election programming in September. The election-night studios will be the climax of the coverage, bringing together the broadcasters’ results and live election reporting.
