MTV yesterday rejected a Népszabadság report that it plans to dismiss 400 personnel. Vice president Balázs Medveczky said the state TV network will reduce the number of those with exorbitant salaries.
The newspaper said it had learned of a plan under which 400 staff would be dismissed, instead of the announced 200.
Meanwhile, 40 people staged a demonstration in favour of state-run media in general and MTV in particular outside Magyar Rádió headquarters on Thursday.
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.
