NMHH President: We are examining the operation of KESMA and the acquisition of the Ringier portfolio

Polyák Gábor, the president of NMHH, announced plans to assess the operations of KESMA and the acquisition of the Ringier portfolio. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive review of the Hungarian media market, including potential abuses of market power. The NMHH aims to enhance transparency by publishing meeting minutes and decisions. The authority will also investigate the impact of public funds on media production and the market dominance of players like 4iG. Additionally, the NMHH will revisit the acquisition of the former Ringier portfolio by Indamedia, which was not previously examined by the media council despite legal obligations.
