RTL Klub and TV2 earlier announced they would require cable, IPTV, satellite and MMDS service providers to pay a net monthly fee of 294 forints (EUR 0.93) and 290 forints, respectively, per subscriber, from July 1.

KBSZ chairman Ferenc Kéry told the paper that the programme fees are discriminative, do not comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and are not in the interest of consumers.
