The Czech Senate is preparing to select a new member for the Czech Radio Council, with seven candidates having been nominated by the Senate electoral committee. This includes notable individuals such as Miroslav Konvalina, the former director of Radiožurnál, who has previously sought election to the council, and Marek Pokorný, the current Vice-Chairman of the radio council whose term ends in March. The nominations will be discussed publicly by the Senate Media Committee on March 18, followed by a decision from the full Senate a week later.

Among the nominees is also Jindřich Hovorka, representing the children's folklore group Javorníček, who seeks election once again after being unsuccessful in prior attempts. Jitka Adamčíková, nominated by the Syndicate of Journalists, is seen as a potential candidate although she was not advanced past the preliminary round by the House media committee. This selection process highlights the Senate's role in overseeing media representation, as well as the importance of radio in Czech media landscape.

The candidates chosen will play a significant role in shaping Czech Radio's direction and policy, especially as the media faces evolving challenges and the need for innovation in broadcasting. The outcome of this election will reflect the Senate's commitment to reinforcing journalistic integrity and diverse representation within the media sector, making it a noteworthy event for stakeholders in the broadcasting industry.
