Abstract
With the collapse of Communism in Europe, the geopolitical terrain of the east and central portion of the continent was redrawn according to the changes caused by the implosion of the Warsaw Pact. Czechoslovakia is unique in that this change actually resulted in the vivisection of the nation into two separate countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. As every other aspect of post-communist nations was up for change and scrutiny, so were broadcast media in these countries. In this thesis, I will employ a qualitative meta-analysis in order to compare changes in the respective broadcast systems of the two newly formed countries by analyzing existing academic literature and research on the subject.
