Since 2011, MR was managed and primarily funded by the Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (Hungarian: Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap, abbreviated MTVA).[1] This government organization also managed the public service broadcasters Magyar Televízió and Duna Televízió, as well as the Hungarian news agency Magyar Távirati Iroda.[2]
On 1 July 2015, Magyar Rádió and the three other public media organisations managed by the MTVA were merged into a single organisation called Duna Media Service (Hungarian: Duna Médiaszolgáltató).[3] This organization is the legal successor to Magyar Rádió and is an active member of the European Broadcasting Union.[4][5]
