Television Stations / Channels

When it was Czechoslovakia, the country had one television provider - Czechoslovak Television (founded in May 1953), which launched a SECAM colour service in 1973.

Following the formal division of the country at the end of 1992, this was replaced by Česká Televize (also known as Československa Televize), which had been launched in January 1992. The station currently operates seven channels of content.

Classic Doctor Who was shown briefly on CT1, and the New Series on CT2.


Languages

All foreign language programmes are dubbed.


DOCTOR WHO IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The only Classic series story to screen in the Czech Republic was the 1996 TV Movie, which had the title Doktor Kdo.

The New Series was shown just over two years later, under the title Pán Času - which translates as The Lord of Time / Time Lord.
