Klubradio to appeal media authority's rejection of bid for new licence

Private broadcaster Klubradio on Friday said it will appeal the Hungarian media authority's rejection of its bid for the 92.9 MHz frequency in Budapest in all possible Hungarian and international courts. The Media Council of Hungary's National Media and Communications Authority on Thursday closed a tender for the frequency without declaring a winner. It rejected Klubradio's offer for failing to comply with several requirements even though it was the sole bidder. The station popular with opposition listeners said in a statement that it considered the Media Council's "excuses" against its bid "unlawful".
