The new deputy editor-in-chief, Roman Pistorius, has held various editorial and presenting positions at Czech Television, Nova TV and the Mafra media group. He is currently producer of the main evening news at CNN Prima News.

The deputy of Martin Švehlák is Tomáš Večeřa, who has been managing the online activities of CNN Prima News since its launch.
