ATV (formerly known as Magyar ATV) is the first Hungarian private TV channel, broadcasting continuously since 1989. The focus of programming is news, public life, current events. Licensed as a partially public service commercial television station, it is obliged to broadcasting public interest programs (news, current affairs, sports, religion) 50% of the time.[citation needed] Because of this special status, the channel is eligible to apply for grants from the government and the radio and television authority.

Criticism

It is widely known that the channel supports left-wing/liberal parties of Hungary[1]. ATV strongly supports Faith Church and well-known for its commitment to Israel.[2][3]
