Court rules radio frequency decision partially invalid, but tender still stands
The Budapest Municipal Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled partially invalid because of formal shortfalls a decision by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority's Media Council awarding a frequency to Autórádió Műsorszolgáltató.

The tender does not have to be repeated because of the ruling, but the council must review the invalidity in the course of making a new resolution, and it must take a new decision on a winner in the tender.
The court case was brought by Klubrádió, which was runner-up in the tender for the frequency, being awarded 65 of a total possible 71 points in the evaluation. The winner was awarded 66 points.
