Valenta left Praha TV, the stake was acquired by BigBoard — Médiář
The media company Naše Media controlled by the senator Ivo Valentou can transfer its 34% stake in regional television Praha TV to advertising company BigBoard Praha. The appropriate change to the license conditions was approved by the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting. BigBoard, which rents space on billboards and other outdoor media, belongs to the media house Joj Media House, headed by by Richard Flimel.
Valent’s Our Media entered metropolitan television more than three years ago, buying a stake in Praha TV from Ostrava’s Polar Television in the spring of 2016. Our Media also includes the website Parliamentary Paperslocal stations TV Slovácko, TV Brno 1 and Regional Television, Nakladatelství Olympia or a Slovak daily Truth.
Joj Media House owns the Joj TV station group at home in Slovakia, and the Joj Family station in the Czech Republic (Czech News Center has a minority, 20% stake in it around Daniel Křetínský) or the Czechoslovak Film Society. It runs the programs (from December they will bear the names CS Film, CS Mystery, CS History and CS Horror), which, starting this year, it bought from their founders Leoš Pohl AND Jan Jurek.
Joj Media House rebrands its new TV
The Československá filmová společnost, on the other hand, got rid of its one-third stake in Prague TV. The new owner is the newly founded company Pražská televízení společnost, which it owns Michal Voracek (40%), Jan Holoubek (30%) a Jakub Svora (30%). This property transfer was approved by the broadcasting board already at the beginning of November.
Praha TV owns the remaining third Klára Potočnáits commercial director and at the same time the second head of television Přemysla Svora. He had to give up his share in the television because of the “lex Babiš”, because he is also a representative in the municipality of Ctiněves and as such cannot be the owner of the media. He therefore transferred the shares to his partner and to the aforementioned son Jakub.
