| Description | The article aims to analyse four periodic religious programmes in the Czech television broadcasting. Results of the analyses are interpreted as the dichotomy in forms of religiosity representation in the broadcasting: in the case of the public service institution (Czech television) and the community oriented television (TV Noe) the religiosity is represented explicitly, in the commercial media implicitly. The profit-oriented broadcasters understand religious programmes as entertaining shows, Czech television aims to educate and provides explanation, TV Noe is evangelistic. The article describes particular forms of religiosity in the broadcasting, focusing on a „traditional“ interpretation of religion in the case of the Czech television and TV Noe and an alternative religiosity presented in the shows of the profit-oriented broadcasters. The goal of the article is to provide interpretation of the causes of this dichotomy. |
