History

At the end of 1958, the Czechoslovak Television (ČST) submitted to the Prague Planning Commission a proposal for the construction of a television complex in Kavčí hory, the investment task of building this area was approved by the Czechoslovak government in February 1960. The idea of building a new television workplace was born from need for a technological separation of television and film production from broadcasting itself and need for specifically equipped technological environment. In March 1962, the project of the group of architect František Šmolík from the Office of the Chief Architect of Prague was chosen. The construction of the area in Kavčí Hory began on 1 July 1962. The general contractor was Konstruktiva company. However the construction work was stopped in January 1963 by decision of state authorities because other buildings were prioritized. During the summer of 1963, the plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia decided that the construction of the area on the Kavčí Hory should continue in 1965, In October 1970, the first part of Prague's Television Center Kavčí hory with two studios started running. In 1971, the federal government included the completion of the complex on the Kavčí hory among the mandatory investment tasks, while 2,000 m2 of studio space was to be handed over by the end of 1975. In May 1973, a color check-in complex was put into operation on Kavčí hory, and regular color broadcasts on II. program. In 1975, the construction of the Television Newspaper Building was started and during 1976 the second block with three studios and other spaces was completed. Construction of the computer center began in 1977. A separate Television Newspaper Building with three news complexes was put into operation during the first half of 1979, and in the following year a music studio was opened in Kavčí hory. This completed the main area of the TV complex on the Kavčí Hory. Current general manager of Czech Television is Jan Souček, who was elected for a six-year term by the Czech Television Council (Czech: Rada České televize). Souček has courted controversy in his tenure given his attack on free media and his attacks on employees of Czech Television. Souček compared himself to Milada Horáková after strong criticism of his managerial skills from Czech Television Council. Souček later commented that it was silly from him. In an interview on 5. 9. 2023‌ Souček, as the incoming director general, stated: "I am constantly asking for money. A press conference of the Ministry of Culture has been announced for Tuesday, where the ministerial commission should reveal how it envisions the reform of financing public service media. According to my information, our call will be heard for the most part." During his tenure, Souček constantly asks for more money from the public fees, however it seems that he is not able to use money economically while blacking out financial documents to hide it from the public.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Television Center Kavčí hory

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Television Center Kavčí hory claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Television Center Kavčí hory before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Television Center Kavčí hory ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Television Center Kavčí hory

In research: Television Center Kavčí hory appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Television Center Kavčí hory in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Television Center Kavčí hory is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1980 establishments in Czechoslovakia, Buildings and structures completed in 1980, Buildings and structures in Prague, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Television Center Kavčí hory outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
