Slovak‑Czech TV programming updates

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Czech and Slovak broadcasters announced a wave of schedule refreshes. An early‑July feature highlighted celebrity interviews and a light‑hearted story about tennis player Jiří Lehečka, while noting that Slovak public broadcaster STVR confirmed its autumn slate, retaining long‑running shows and adding a new environmental magazine, “Teraz o prírode,” produced with the Ministry of the Environment.

Later that week, private Slovak channel Markíza released its autumn lineup, bringing back the singing competition SuperStar after a five‑year hiatus and moving it to a Wednesday prime‑time slot. The broadcaster also introduced the crime drama Hriech and affirmed the continuation of series such as Sľub, Dunaj, and the reality show Farma.

On 27 July, Markíza gave further detail, confirming that SuperStar will premiere on 2 September at 20:30 on Wednesdays. The revived season keeps long‑time judge Pavol Habera, adds singer Ewa Farna, actor‑host Jakub Prachař and rapper Calin to the panel, and sees former host Leoš Mareš return. Producers promise a modern visual identity, greater use of social media and a focus on contestants’ personal stories to attract a younger audience while celebrating the format’s 30‑year anniversary.

These announcements illustrate a coordinated effort by Czech and Slovak broadcasters to blend established content with new productions, expand thematic coverage—particularly in environmental programming—and refresh scheduling to capture broader viewership.
