The National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH) has decided not to renew Tilos Rádió’s broadcasting licence due to “repeated and severe breaches of regulations”, the NMHH said on Thursday.
Since 2015, when its broadcasting licence was renewed last, Tilos Rádió breached regulations on content rating and the watershed on four occasions, NMHH said, adding that one of the cases amounted to a “severe breach”, NMHH said in a statement.
Other violations include repeated failures to provide data to the authority and irregularities regarding the broadcaster’s annual reports, NMHH said.
Tilos Radio’s 90.3 MHz terrestrial licence will expire in September.

And some people still think Hungary is a free country…
Mario, Hungary is a free country. Much moreso than your country the USA. You are free to worry about your own dying country.

Another one squeezed out. Any excuse to strangle media freedom…….
“Expression of Opinion” – isn’t this a MAJOR reason or advantage of Democracy – that it avails it-self – provides to Human life, that we Humans – can have an open & free OPINION ???
There must be – a line or point drawn under Law, living in a Democracy of citizens opinions tone they are or positions that they adapt and statements – opinions they EXPRESS.
Hungary – the line is THIN – or the movement “off the rails” varing away from the Political ideas & philosophy under Fidesz/Victor Orban – that RULINGS and Decisions – made on breaches of – that its not under the Democracy of Hungary – are WRONG.
Hungary – through the Political Ideas & Philosopy – under the Fidesz/Victor Orban regime, that they have cemented into the CORE of Politics in Hungary, and continue to impliment, this re-writing and Manipulation of Democracy.
Government levels of Management & Control – POWER – across broadsheet Hungarian life, from Media, TV and the Judiciary – continues to agitate and annoy – just not members of the European Union but NATO, Great Britain and the United States of America, and “other” countrys – Globally.
We are in a time – that Hungary – that has been under a massive global microscope for the (4) four years – the position Hungary has adapted in the Russian War on the Ukraine – this Manipulation or Re-writing of Democracy – will not be Favourably accepted – Globally.
Hungary – there can be just one winner, and Hungary – will continue to isolate create a widening gap – through it NOT factually as a country operating under CORE Democracy – but be seen “veiling” it-self under “supposedly” DEMOCRACY.
The question still remains UNANSWERED – the World still waits – what side do you Hungary – support in this Russian War against the Ukraine ???
We really don’t want to hear Szijjarto still maintaining we have more press freedom than ‘the West’. As to the farcical reasons the government has given; well they can make up anything they want can’t they.
Come on Opposition, you have four years. This country is going in the wrong direction. Out with Gyurcsány Ferenc and his wife and bring in new blood.
There are rules and laws governing air ways. This radio station refuses to abide by the rules. It is as simple as this. Anonymous, Trepidation, Mario why you gentlemen support lawless behavior? The bottom line is, this radio station knew the rules and refuse to obey them The radio station deserves to lose its license and it does not matter whether the station is pro Globalist. Soros or EU or pro government.
Wakey wakey mariavontheresa. It’s not about abiding by the rules. The government will always find a law or invent a law. Doesn’t want encourage too many independent thinkers. If it was pro government we know it wouldn’t have been shut down. Just remember who controls the media authority here. But your comment is not surprising as you don’t live in Hungary. You shouldn’t believe every excuse this government churns out old chap.
