At the joint online press event of MTVA, Duna Televízió and the Petőfi Literary Museum, it was announced that Petőfi Rádió és TV will be transformed, the cultural content will be stronger, and there will be more Hungarian music. At the press conference, Menyhért Dobos, CEO of Duna Médiaszolgáltató Nonprofit Zrt., said that in 2023 we will celebrate the 200th birthday of Sándor Petőfi. And we really need role models, he noted.
"We would like to make better use of the synergies: together with the MTVA, we have created a project so that we can celebrate this in a dignified way," he said. According to the plans, the Petőfi Rádió will be a true cultural transmitter, with much more Hungarian music, and the A38 ship will host the program.
TV viewers may have known Ádám Béli as the presenter of the M5 channel, and he will manage Petőfi Rádió and Petőfi Tévé and their online interfaces from April 1. He noted that the poet gave his life for his country, and at the age of 26 he left us a oeuvre that still defines our literature and our thinking about Hungarianness. He considers it important that cultural contents reach young people.
"We have a huge responsibility in what young people will see as good music and good cultural content," he said. Part of the Petőfi project is that Petőfi Tévé and Petőfi Rádió will be launched, the A38 will be the mother ship. According to the TV specialist, it is rare for TV and radio to operate from a ship (which is also a highly rated cultural space), and moreover from the Danube, which is the umbilical cord of Europe. The ship is equipped with all the necessary techniques to produce high-quality programs, the project is called Petőfi, the rock star.
