Abstract  (Hungarian radio market in Romania  – 2021)
The aim of my research is to carry out a cadastral survey of the
Hungarian media system in Romania, to take a snapshot
of the present. In this research, I tried to map the Romanian radios
broadcasting in Hungarian and/or in the languages of other
minorities.
While striving for completeness, I am convinced that the list that has
been composed will neither ever be perfect, nor
it is now. It is limited by accurate recording, by constant updating,
which is hampered by fluctuations in the media system,
which, in the case of radios, for example, means the program structure
that is usually changed every six months and changes
in ownership. That is why I use the term “snapshot” for the purposes of
this study, but my previous research has shown how
important it is for researchers to capture a similar momentary state in
the long run – and to find it later.

Individual, local radio stations
In 2000, Alt FM (102 Mhz) received a frequency in Arad, with 147 minutes
of programming per week in Hungarian. It defines itself as a radio with
educational and religious themes.
In Balázsfalva, Fehér County, Rado Blaj broadcasts a 60-minute
Hungarian-language program a week. Otherwise, 47% of its total programs
are self-produced, 47.9% are taken over from other manufacturers, and
5.1% are broadcasts of the news channel of the public radio (Radio
Romania Actualității).
In Zilah, the center of Szilágy County, Radio Unison FM broadcasts 90
minutes a week in Hungarian. Radio defines itself as religious.
On Máramarossziget (Máramaros county), Sighet FM broadcasts a program in
Hungarian for 120 minutes a week. By the way, 12.5 are self-produced,
78.58% are from other producers, and 8.92% are replays from Radio ZU in
Bucharest.
Radio AS broadcasts in Dicsőszentmárton, Maros county, and its program
includes 360 minutes of Hungarian broadcasts per week. 35% of his entire
program is self-produced, 65% is adapted (without attribution).
In Cluj County, in Cluj, Paprika Rádió broadcasts 100% in Hungarian.
43.45% of his shows are self-produced, 56.55% are taken over - the data
does not reveal from where.
In the same place, the county's newest channel, EBS Radio, broadcasts a
program in Hungarian for 60 minutes a week. It is true that this is only
apparent from the data: on the Dés frequency, 100% of the program aired
in Cluj is broadcast, but the length of the program for minorities in
Dés is 60 minutes per week. Logically, it is therefore certain that the
Cluj show must also have 60 minutes of Hungarian-language programming.
Cluj's third local radio station, the reformed Agnus Rádió, according to
official data, broadcasts 98% in Hungarian (the language of the
remaining 2% is unknown), 80.62% of its programs are self-produced,
19.38% are taken over and produced elsewhere. show. By the way, its
program time on the radio is 3,290 hours a week (almost 8 hours a day),
broadcast on a shared frequency with two other church programs:
the program of Vocea Evangheliei (Adventist) is 840 minutes a week in
Hungarian, and the program of Vocea Speranței (also neo-Protestant) is
45 minutes a week in Hungarian.
Thus, a total of 41.41% (4175 minutes) of the weekly program on the 88.3
MHz frequency is in Hungarian.
The same two Romanian-language channels with religious themes also
broadcast Hungarian-language programs in Brasov:
60 minutes of Hungarian broadcasts per week in Vocea Evangheliei, and
120 minutes per week in Vocea Speranței. Radio Vocea Evangheliei also
broadcasts 120 minutes of Hungarian-language programming in Vajdahunyad,
and 210 minutes a week in Nagyvára and another 60 minutes in
Romani/Gypsy language  show.
The radio also broadcasts a program for Roma in Sibiu, 30 minutes a
week, and they also produce the same number of programs in German.
In Szatmár county, in Szatmárnémeti, Radio Unu is broadcast in Hungarian
for 210 minutes a week. It broadcasts 9% of its programs from its own
production, the remaining 91% comes from other producers. There are 5
"lonely" radio stations in Kovászna county.
Siculus Rádió and Proe Rádió are headquartered in Kézdivásárhely.
Siculus takes over 1.04% of the program of the public service news
channel, Radio Romania Actalități, as a result of which its program in
Hungarian is "only" 90%, 9,135 minutes per week (out of 10,080). 38.21%
are self-produced shows, 60.75% come from other producers.
Proe Rádió, on the other hand, speaks in Hungarian all day long, with a
ratio of 35:65% of its own and borrowed programs.
Sepsiszentgyörgy is broadcast all day in Hungarian by Sepsi Rádió
(35:65%) and Sláger Rádió (16.71: 83.29%).
The only Hungarian children's radio station in Romania is located here:
Nemere Rádió is dedicated to this community. 10.04% of its programs are
self-produced, 89.96% come from other producers.
Hargita County has the largest number of commercial radio stations
broadcasting in Hungarian. This in itself would not be surprising, but
most of them (other than those indicated by the chains) are owned by
different owners, they did not form chains, only pairs at the top.
According to the company's registration, Szépvíz Rádió belongs to the
settlement of Szépvíz, which is very close to Csíkszereda, and earlier
information was that the municipality requested and received a
frequency, according to the current data, the frequency applies to
Csíkszereda. 38% own, 62% adapted program (without source), 100% in
Hungarian.
The situation of Retro Rádió, which also broadcasts in Hungarian, is
interesting, with 2% of its own programs being broadcast, and 98% being
taken from other producers (no source indicated). There are also local
radio stations in other settlements of the county. In Székelyudvarhely,
Príma Rádió broadcasts its own and others' programs in a ratio of 25:75,
while Sztár Rádió (Radio Star) broadcasts 20:80% - both in Hungarian all
day. On Székelykeresztúr, Vox broadcasts only in Hungarian, 23.91% of
the program production is in-house and 76% comes from others (there is
no data on the remaining 0.9%).

population, Gliga FM (35:65%) broadcasts 300 minutes of
Hungarian-language programming per week.
