The Media Council imposed a fine of 22.3 million forints on Radio Plus Kft. and a fine of 275,000 forints on the media service provider’s executive officer due to repeated violations, in connection with the episodes of “Balázsék” broadcast on 14 and 16 October 2025. It also ordered the media service provider to publish a notice of the infringement. The broadcasts on Radio 1 were in breach of the legal requirements concerning the age categorisation of programmes and the time of publication.

With the programme “Megasztár” broadcast on TV2’s linear and TV2 Play on-demand media services on 11 October 2025, TV2 Zrt. violated the legal provision prohibiting the self-serving and harmful portrayal in media content of persons in humiliating or vulnerable situations by broadcasting the heightened emotional outbursts of a minor contestant in a manner that was humiliating and in a manner that infringed upon privacy. As the child tried to hide their despair at being eliminated, the camera followed them into the bathroom, and so the broadcast also showed the most vulnerable moments of the child. Consequently, the Media Council imposed a fine of three million forints on TV2 Zrt. and ordered it to publish a statement acknowledging the violation; it also imposed a fine of 25,000 forints on the media service provider’s executive officer due to the repeated nature of the violation.

The body initiated proceedings against LBK Base Kft. to determine whether it violated the classification provisions by publishing music tracks broadcast on its commercial radio media service BASE FM, which has a regional coverage area, on 11 September, 9 October, 1 November, 20 November and 23 November 2025.
