There is a weekly local English newspaper called The Prague Post (cost 65 CZK) - PraguePost.com. It concentrates mainly on business and politics and was originally created for English 'ex- pat' community living in Prague. It is very useful for
travelers as it contains a lot of suggestions about where to go, what to see in Prague and a Night&Day entertainment section. The most popular Czech newspapers are Mlada Fronta DNES, Pravo, Lidove Noviny and tabloid Blesk. Hospodarske Novinky is our newspaper about business, equivalent to the Financial Times. If you are a sports fan then look for the aptly named 'Sport'. Kiosks, newsagents and some bookshops in the city centre sell a wide range of international newspapers (around 100 CZK) and magazines. The quality of journalism in the Czech Republic is not very high, Czech people prefer articles about gossip, affairs and scandal. There is quarterly English translation of Czech Nova Pritomnost and a monthly magazine called Think. If you want to watch the news in English there is only a 45 minutes bulletin called Euronews on CT2 (at noon Monday to Thursday and 7.15pm Friday to Sunday). CT2 is state owned TV channel and shows some movies with English subtitles. Other private TV channels cater mostly for the Czech speaking audience (CT, Nova and Prima). On the radio CR1 there’s English news at 5.30pm. Or you can listen to the BBC on 101.1 FM.
