The Media Council has fined TV2 Zrt. HUF 3 million for failing to meet twice the statutory obligation to respect human dignity when it aired “Napló” on 13 July 2025 at 18:47 and broadcast its teaser on 12 July 2025 at 16:19. The programme and its teaser focused on fatal bus tragedies and encouraged viewers to take part in a prize competition related to the topic: “Vote and win! Is it always the driver to take the blame for a bus accident?” The result of the vote was announced at the end of the show. The Media Council found that the prize game linked to the bus tragedies with fatalities was incompatible with the constitutional values of respect for human dignity and serving the interests of the democratic public sphere, given the seriousness of the subject matter. In addition to paying the fine, the Council ordered the media service provider to publish a notice of the infringement, and fined the provider’s executive officer HUF 25 thousand, given the repeated nature of the infringement.

In the week of 11–17 November 2025, the Zalaegerszeg radio station 88,9 – BestFM failed to broadcast public service content and content dealing with local public matters in the measure stipulated in its public contract, and also violated its contractual obligations regarding the text-to-music ratio. As a result, the Media Council ordered the media service provider Best Radio Kft. to pay a fine of HUF 300 thousand and to publish a notice of the infringement, and fined the provider’s executive officer HUF 100 thousand, given the repeated nature of the infringement.

In November 2025, the NMHH contacted the German media authority about the programmes “Addams Family 2”, “Dolittle”, “Skyscraper”, “A Working Man” and “Upgrade”, which are available through the on-demand media service Prime Video – which falls under German jurisdiction –, for breaching the rules of classification. The media service provider had classified all these programmes into a lower age category than required under Hungarian law as per the ratings of the National Film Office. In addition, for category V programmes (Not recommended for audiences under 18), the media service provider should have applied an effective technical solution to ensure that minors could not access the films.

Despite the fact that the German co-authority did not find the age rating of the programmes to be in breach of its own rules of media administration, it contacted Prime Video’s provider regarding the reclassification of the programmes in its Hungarian offer, which has since been accomplished.

In two further cases of alleged infringements of the Hungarian classification provisions, the NMHH turned to the foreign, Spanish and Czech, co-authorities asking them to take the necessary measures.
