(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Proposed changes to Czech media laws force national broadcaster ČT to pull out of Eurovision 2027 amid severe budget cuts. Stormy political debates surrounding a proposed media law in Czechia have forced the country to withdraw from Eurovision 2027, which is scheduled to take place in Bulgaria. Sweeping changes to the funding model of the Czech national broadcaster ČT have led to unprecedented budget cuts, compelling the national broadcaster to pull out of costly international events like Eurovision, despite strong performances in recent years. The Czech government is advancing legislation that partially uncouples the national broadcaster's budget from traditional radio and television license fees. The proposed bill has sparked widespread opposition, with approximately 300 objections and comments already submitted against the current draft. It's important to emphasize that the EBU has yet addresed to address the news of the Czech's newspaper Aktuálně.cz about Czechia's withdrawal.
