According to local media reports, the channel exceeded the limits of foreign language programming with the broadcast of an English language programme that was dubbed into Czech. The channel received a fine since it had previously defied the law.
The fine was the second one issued under the 2008 law. The previous fine was issued to a regional channel for broadcasting advertisements in the Hungarian language.
Joj TV is owned by J&T Media Enterprises, a subsidiary of J&T Finance Group which has offices in Bratislava, Prague, Moscow, Cyrpus and Barbados.
