According to the chairman of the Media Council, Klubrádió should be given every chance to receive a frequency again
The head of the Media Council, Gábor Polyák, stated that Klubrádió should be given every chance to regain a frequency. The National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) plans to announce a tender for three radio frequencies in Budapest early next year, with operations expected to start by mid-2027. Polyák emphasized the need for a fair process to address past legal grievances against Klubrádió, following a ruling by the European Court of Justice that found Hungary violated EU law regarding the radio's frequency rights. He noted that while Klubrádió cannot receive a frequency without a tender, they must be allowed to compete fairly. The Media Council will also decide on future programming for the National Sports Radio's frequency, with plans to simplify the application process and consider the viability of digital radio in Hungary.
