PODCAST FIRST LEAGUE: TOMÁŠ HRUŠKA – TV NOVA CREATIVE PRODUCER

12. 2. 2026 As a creative producer at TV Nova, he has two much-talked-about drama series to his credit – Metoda Markovič: Hojer and Metoda Markovič: Straka.

29. 4. 2024 Michal Reitler has joined Nova as Director of Content Development and has been put in charge of both the terrestrial Nova and the content rollout of the Voyo streaming platform. Now, after two and a half years on the job, he boasts a solidly launched production factory and a number of notable series or miniseries such as Extractors, Sex O'Clock or Method Markovic: Hojer. As well as valuable knowledge of what works on Voyo and the consumption habits of subscribers to the new streaming platform. "We already know that real cases and real stories definitely work well for us. That it works very well for us when a project has not three episodes but six. We're still learning what works for us in the spring, in the summer, in the fall, in the winter. Just as television copies some viewer needs and habits, SVOD is very much based on our needs when we pick up a laptop and pick up a series there. One interesting trend is that viewers of The Ordinary like to watch The Ordinary on SVOD at 8pm on Thursdays. That's really nice how people have linear or streaming connected to a lifestyle, a routine," Reitler commented.
