Duna Media Service Provider (Hungarian:Duna Médiaszolgáltató), also known asDuna Média, is Hungary's onlypublic service broadcaster for radio, television and new media. The company was established in July 2015, and operates sixTV channels, seven radio stations, a news agency and online services.
Duna Média was created through the merger of Magyar Rádió, Magyar Televízió and Duna Televízió by theThird Orbán Government. The reasons given were the elimination of duplicate structures in the public media and coordination by a central administration under the government.
Duna Media is the result of a merger between the former public service broadcasters Magyar Televízió (MTV), Magyar Rádió (MR) and Duna TV, as well as the Hungariannews agencyMagyar Távirati Iroda (MTI). Thisnonprofit organization is the legal successor to each of the four formerly separate entities managed byMédiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap (MTVA).
Duna Media is a member of theEuropean Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is funded by MTVA.[1][2][3]
As of 1 January 2023, the organisational structure has changed significantly. Instead of the previous four directorates, only two will be responsible for content. The former Directorates have been reorganised under the new Content Directorate. The other new Directorate is the Content Development Directorate, which will have a small creative team. Additionally, there is the Strategy Office, which, until now, was the "creative manager". Both directorates are headed by external managers, the former being Zoltán István Tóth, a former member of the Television Jury of the National Film Institute and 777blog.hu, a blog committed to Christian values (he used to head the Country Image Centre and worked at Hír TV and MTVA); the latter is Róbert Kárász, who has been a presenter at ATV since 2017 (he used to work at TV2 and RTL).[4]
