News Official statement New plan
  • Nova S said it will not renew 24 Minuta after a review by the channel’s new management.
  • The broadcaster said the programme cost more than half a million euros annually and delivered marginal commercial returns.
  • The show’s creators plan to continue on their own platform, while Nova S said it wants to redirect resources and protect the long-term viability of its journalism.

Nova S has decided to cancel 24 Minuta, saying the programme’s cost could no longer be justified by its commercial return. The channel said the show cost more than half a million euros a year while producing less than 30 hours of annual airtime.

The figure included more than the presenter’s fee. It also covered the programme’s full production in Nova S studios, using the channel’s equipment and staff. Management said its review of contracts inherited from the previous ownership had now been completed.

Nova S said the decision reflected its commitment to professional and financially rational management. It also said the review would address historic disparities in resource allocation and direct investment toward areas with greater impact.

The broadcaster acknowledged the show’s entertainment value and the loyalty of its audience. It said the creators had announced plans to continue the programme on their own platform and wished them success. Nova S also thanked the 24 Minuta team for its work over the years.
