Opposition presses for full disclosure on TV2 sale

TV

Budapest, December 27 (MTI) – Leaders of the opposition Socialists and the E14-PM electoral alliance called on Friday for full disclosure of the identity of the owners of TV2 and the details of who is behind the purchase of commercial television channel.

Robert Braun, a Socialist politician, and E14-PM co-chairman Viktor Szigetvari sent an open letter to the heads of TV2 and ProSiebenSat1 requesting the information as soon as possible, the Socialists said in a statement.

“There is major suspicion that the purchasers are not the real buyers, and that a group of business interests close to [governing] Fidesz are behind the transaction,” Braun and Szigetvari said in the letter addressed to TV2 chief Simon and ProSiebenSat1 chief Thomas Ebeling.

German media company ProSiebenSat1 announced on Monday that it had sold MTM-SBS, the company which operates TV2 in Hungary. TV2, along with SuperTV2, FEM3 and PRO4, were sold to Zsolt Simon, the chief executive of TV2, and Yvonne Dederick, the channel’s chief financial officer.

They also alleged the acquisition had been funded in a “corrupt manner”.
