  • The Hungarian public television (MTVA) has responded to speculation about the future of Sándor Fábry's show, stating it is going on a summer break.
  • MTVA will provide information about the autumn schedule later, while reports suggest the show's crew is preparing for its discontinuation.
  • Fábry's show has a long history, having aired on various Hungarian channels since 1998.

Speculation is rife in Hungary about the potential end of Sándor Fábry's long-running television program. Reports suggest that the production crew is already treating the show's continuation in its current format as unlikely, with some staff members having already said their goodbyes.

However, the Hungarian public media company, MTVA, has offered a more measured response. When contacted by Médiapiac, MTVA stated that the program, like many others, is simply taking a summer break. The company added that details regarding the autumn schedule would be released at a later date.

Fábry's career in television is notable, with his show "Esti Showder Fábry Sándorral" first premiering on Magyar Televízió in 1998. It quickly moved to RTL Klub, where it aired until 2011. The program later returned to public media in 2012, appearing on M1 and then on Duna TV from 2015 onwards.

The Fábry program – like several other programs – is going on a summer break. We will provide information about the autumn structure later.
