BUDAPEST, March 12 (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Friday it may consider legal action against Hungary after it refused to renew the licence of a radio station whose talk show guests have often criticised government policies.
Klubradio, which has broadcast for 19 years, was forced off the air last month after it lost an appeal against the removal of its licence. It has been broadcasting on the internet since mid-February.
On Thursday Hungary’s media authority rejected Klubradio’s application for a licence in a frequency tender in which it had been the sole contender left, saying it did not meet requirements.
