The Hungarian National Telecommunications Authority (NHH) has called a tender for 12-year licences for five DVB-T and one T-DAB multiplexes.
Speaking at a press conference, NHH’s head Daniel Pataki said the results of the tender would be announced this summer, with the winners of the first two TV and one radio multiplex licences expected to start broadcasts by the end of the year.
The third DVB-T multiplex will have space allocated for mobile TV services, while the remaining two will be introduced following analogue switch off.
The tender will not be open to analogue TV broadcasters with over 300,000 subscribers, and the deadline for bids is April 24.
