Hungary’s national media council reassigned three radio frequencies, taking one of them from the country’s largest opposition radio station, Klubradio.
The station’s frequency was awarded to Autoradio Musorszolgaltato Kft., which bid “significantly above” the asking price and promised to broadcast more Hungarian music, the watchdog said in an e-mailed statement late yesterday.
The media council’s decision is a “de facto ban” of Klubradio and a “public fraud,” Andras Arato, the station’s chairman, said in an interview today. The result of the tender is legally questionable as the frequency was awarded to a company with capital of 1 million forint ($4,370), while the tender called for a “realistic” business plan, Arato said.
