During the 1990s, NOVA created a number of its own comedy shows featuring actors like Jiří Lábus, Oldřich Kaiser and more. They also created their own quiz show.

It gained minor notoriety for its late-night nude weather reports ("Počasíčko"),[2] in which a woman (later a man as well) would appear, naked, to present the weather. A kind of reverse striptease would ensue, with the presenter putting on clothes appropriate to the weather.

Disputes between broadcasting license holder CET 21 and financial supplier CME resulted in an international arbitration known as CME/Lauder v. Czech Republic where Czech Republic was forced to pay CME compensation of 353 million USD (approx. 10 billion CZK).[3]

Vladimír Železný sold CET 21 to the financial group PPF of Petr Kellner and today, TV Nova is owned by CME. Current CEO is Christoph Mainusch.[4]

gollark: You'd have to keep decreasing it for every repost though.
gollark: I didn't. Depending on how it gets split into blocks or something it might work.
gollark: Based on something or other it runs on perceptual hashes which use a discrete cosine transform thingy, so it might be easiest to DCT the image data, fiddle with the parameters a bit, and convert it back.
