Superstar Czechoslovakia

In a production broadcast by their two respective leading private television channels, TV Nova und TV Markíza, Czechs and Slovaks have for the first time searched jointly for a superstar over the past few weeks. The liberal daily Pražský Deník sees this "project for a federal retrospective" as a success: "The programme was popular with those who yearn for the former Czechoslovakia. But it also had its fans among those who see the division as good for Czech-Slovak relations. And the young people who can't remember what the united state was like were also enthusiastic. The music transcended both geographic and language barriers. The concerts and autograph sessions went down well both in Prague and in Kosice ... If a larger market pays off in financial terms for show business it should also work out in other areas too."
