Duna Media Service Provider (Hungarian: Duna Médiaszolgáltató), also known as simply Duna Média, is Hungary's public service broadcaster for radio, television and new media. The company was established in July 2015 and operates six TV channels, seven radio stations, a news agency and online services.
History
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 Hungarian news agency Magyar Távirati Iroda (MTI). This nonprofit organization is the legal successor to each of the four formerly separate entities managed by Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap (MTVA).
Duna Media is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is funded by MTVA.[1][2][3]
