Óčko (formerly stylized as Òĉko) is a Czech music television channel that started broadcasting on 30 September 2002. This was the Czech Republic's first music channel.
The majority of the audience are teenagers and people from the 12–35 age group. The channel plays music videos of all different genres including the latest hits.
Apart from regular charts, there are special shows which concentrate only on certain music styles. The program also includes live concerts of Czech as well as foreign singers and bands. There is a big emphasis on interactivity. Up to 8 hours a day, the program is influenced by the viewers, who can either use email or SMS to vote for songs.
Óčko was also one of the first Czech television channels that was able to be broadcast online. Internet users can therefore watch this channel for free and choose the video quality to suit their connection speed. The best quality offers streaming video in 1.3 MB/s. It's also available on Instagram since the start of April 2024.
