TV Barrandov is a Czech television channel, launched in 2009. It was founded and started to broadcast in 2009. It currently broadcasts in Czech.

In 2015 after Chinese company CEFC China Energy invested in TV Barrandov's parent company Empresa Media, the tone of TV Barrandov's coverage of China changed with all neutral and negative reporting about China being replaced by positive reporting.[1]

TV Barrandov is currently dealing with bad financial situation. On 20 January 2024 TV Barrandov stopped broadcast after reportedly being cut from electricity due to debts.[2] [3] Broadcast was restored after 10 hours.[4] In May 2024, according to Evidence skutečných majitelů (Records of beneficial owners) businessman Jan Čermák bought another 50 percent of publishing company from and became only owner of TV Barrandov. Soukup later denied transaction and said there is error in records.[5]
