[10] Media occasionally raise questions about how much Czech Television is able to withstand pressure both from the governing parties and the opposition and maintain unbiased and critical coverage of politics.

In a long struggle with ČT is also the former president of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, who in 2018 unofficially suggested creating a possibility for citizens who disagree with ČT to divert the compulsory television licence fee towards charitable and social programs.

In 2013 information about incomes and salaries of ČT official Karel Burian, director of Brno ČT was publicly revealed, showing him having earned nearly 2 million CZK (about 80,000 USD) in the first half of 2011, which is much more than top Czech politicians, including more than the Prime Minister or the President of the Czech Republic.
