(Translated from Hungarian)
The Broadcasting Unit of the Slovenian RTV planned to switch off the medium wave transmitter in Nemčavcin (558 & 648 kHz), which broadcasts MMR on 558 kHz, on January 1, 2024. With this, MMR (Muravidéki Magyar Rádió = Prekmurje Hungarian Radio) would lose a significant part of its audience: partly in the border area of Prekmurje, and mostly in the counties of Zala and Vas. The transmitter was not turned off, but the issue has not yet been resolved.
Today, there are two medium-wave transmitters operating in Slovenia, Beli Križ on the Seaside (Italian national programs) and Nemčavci in the Prekmurje, from where MMR has been broadcasting on 558 kHz since 2002 (earlier it was on 648 but moved due the interferences from BBC). Nemčavci medium-wave broadcasting provides reception for listeners who cannot be reached by the 87.6 MHz (Pečarovci transmitter) or 92.7 MHz frequency (subresident transmitter) on the FM wavelength.
