What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The populist government of billionaire Prime Minister Andrej Babis, backed by the far-right SPD party, has frequently criticised public and private media coverage of its policies and accused some outlets of bias.
Opposition parties have compared the proposed changes with reforms in Hungary under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who oversaw a major expansion of pro-government media.
The government says it is scrapping the 205 crown ($9.45) monthly household broadcasting fee to ease costs for consumers.
