“…On the one hand, the sector was satisfied with the fact that the community media service as such was codified, on the other hand the Hungarian Federation of Free Radios realized that the definition was formulated inappropriately in the regulations. Paragraph 66 17 To give a brief summary of the 20 years of community broadcasting in Hungary seems impossible taking into account the length of this article, but there are several publications for those who are interested (Brouillette & van Beek 2012, Gosztonyi, 2009, Velics, 2012a. 18 150 new or amended acts came out during the first year.…”

In the Declaration of the Committee of Ministers on the role of community media in promoting social cohesion and intercultural dialogue passed on 11 February 2009 by the Council of Europe, stations run by religious institutions were explicitly excluded from the community media definition, as being too dependent on the Church. But the reality seems to be far from this definition. In practice, in many countries the religious radio stations officially belong to-or even dominate-this sector. In 2011 a new period began for community broadcasting in Hungary. While most of the former community media broadcasters could not find resources with which to operate, the community media landscape was dramatically overwhelmed by religious broadcasters both on regional and local levels. The legally-recognised third tier of broadcasting in Poland called 'social broadcasting' is actively and exclusively used by religious radio-seven stations broadcast locally and one is a powerful nationwide radio station called Radio Maryja. The authors gathered information and points of views from radio experts, organizations and activists living and working in different EU and non-EU states about the place of religious broadcasting in the community media sector. Two case-studies (Hungary and Poland) may be of interest for countries considering the introduction or reorganisation of regulations regarding community broadcasting.
