Hungarian public media outlets halt broadcasting in post-Orbán shake-up

Hungarian public media outlets close to Viktor Orbán have suspended broadcasting, the country’s prime minister said as he hailed efforts to dismantle the longtime nationalist leader’s control over information.

The Kossuth radio station and M1, Hungary’s main public television channel, had halted transmission by Tuesday afternoon, with the latter showing the message:

“Public media should not lie. We are sorry for doing it for so long.

"Public media now will be reformed so it will be independent and trustworthy. Our news programme is currently suspended. Stay tuned!” it added against a black screen.

Note: For details check this Hungarian link. It's quite a story.
