Hungarian Klubrádió's License Extended Until 5 August
- 11 Jun 2012 9:00 AM
The Media Authority has extended Klubrádió’s provisional broadcasting licence to August 5, but rejected its application to reduce its broadcasting fee from the present Ft 6.5 million for two months.Klubrádió has been operating for about 18 months on a provisional contract, which the authority extends every other month.
Klubrádió managing director András Arató called the procedure outrageous, complaining that it hampers the popular independent station’s ability to generate advertising revenue.
The station won the 92.9 MHz frequency in the spring of 2010 but the media authority at that time and its legal successor have not concluded a contract with the station, as they have filed legal challenges to the award of the frequency.
