History

Duna Media is the result of a merger between the former public service broadcasters Magyar Televízió , Magyar Rádió  and Duna TV, as well as the Hungarian news agency Magyar Távirati Iroda. This nonprofit organization is the legal successor to each of the four formerly separate entities managed by Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap.
Duna Media is a member of the European Broadcasting Union  and is funded by MTVA.
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 ; the latter is Róbert Kárász, who has been a presenter at ATV since 2017.
