In 2024, Czech Television's stations achieved the highest TV market share in the universal group over 15 years of age in all-day broadcasting. Their cumulative share exceeded the 30% threshold and reached 30.43% overall. This was half a percentage point more than in the previous year. This is according to official audience measurement data from ATO-Nielsen.
In the prime time 15+ and in the 15-54 and 18-69 audience groups in both day and evening broadcasts, the Nova group was the strongest.
The position of the main commercial groups in the 15+ audience group was balanced throughout the day last year, with the Prima group following by a narrow margin. In the other audience groups, Nova showed a higher share.
In year-on-year comparison, Czech Television channels improved the most last year, mainly due to the growth of the sports channel CT sport. It broadcast the key sporting events of the year (World Cup hockey, Euro, Paris Olympics). The growth of Atmedia also continued, reaching 6.45% in the 18-69 audience group, as did Television Seznam (1.78% in 18-69).
