Hungary’s media authority ORTT has rejected a plea by the two main commercial television channels, RTL Klub and TV2 for a reduction in their concession fee, ORTT said in a statement on Wednesday.
The body, however, continues to support a request by RTL Klub to modify its concession contract in areas other than the programme service fee, and urges the initiation of expert discussions on the matter as soon as possible, said ORTT.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
