TELEVISION - RADIO - NEWSPAPERS

 

TV

-          in general, I think that the programmes on TV are not worthwhile and not informative; but it depends on which TV we are watching

-          we have four channels of TV - ČT 1, ČT 2, NOVA and Prima; I think that programmes on ČT 1 and ČT 2 are worthwhile and informative

-          I feel that many programmes are too violent and shallow (for ex. stupid soap operas on NOVA, which are about nothing, only about money and love

 

-          my favourite programmes are evening films and amusement   programmes, because I can be at rest; sometimes I like watching cartoons and travel documentaries

-          I rarely watch soap operas, because they are dull

 

-          on the average, I watch TV for 2 hours a day, mainly at evening, because during the week I don't have a time so I watch only TV news and sometimes an evening films

-          during weekends or holidays, I watch it about maybe 4 hours a day

-          I think I could live without TV because I can do more agreeable and more useful things. Instead of watching TV, I would go with my friends out, read a book or listen music, which I like.

 

-          I believe that some news reporting is objective and reliable

-          for me analyses of current events are not a waste of time, because I think that we have to take interest in what happens in this world

 

-          I feel that content of ads is exaggerated and a waste of time; the number of ads is too great; however sometimes advertising in the middle of a programme can give one a break to go to the kitchen for some sweets or go to the toilet; but when the ads are every 30 minutes it is really annoying

 

RADIO

-          I like to listen the radio and rather I like to listen my favourite tapes or CDs

-          every morning when I get up I switch on the radio and I try to awake up

 

NEWSPAPERS

-          I don't read newspapers every day, because I watch TV news; but at times when I don't see TV news, next day I buy newspapers and I read what happens preceding day

-          I like music magazines and magazines with gossip
