"The Most Diplomatic Dog"

CHAPTER XII

In the 1960s, a Hungarian radio station was broadcasting a live interview with a well-known politician. Just as the host was asking a serious question, the studio door swung open, and a local dog wandered in, following a technician who had left it outside. The dog, apparently unaware of the important conversation happening, casually trotted to the microphone and began licking it loudly.

The host, trying to keep things professional, laughed and said, “It seems our special guest has a lot to say!” He then turned to the politician and jokingly added, “What do you think about this new voice in Hungarian politics?”
The dog’s unexpected appearance was so charming that it became a running joke on the station. The politician even referred to the dog as his "new advisor" in later interviews, and listeners affectionately called it "Hungary’s most diplomatic dog."

Fourty years before this funny story, Hungary launched its first radio broadcast. Radio quickly became a popular source of news and entertainment, especially during World War II, when it played a vital role in keeping the public informed. Television arrived in 1957, with **Magyar Televízió** (MTV, hehe...) broadcasting its first programs. During the Communist era, both radio and TV were tightly controlled, often used for propaganda. In the 1980s, a wave of technical innovations brought color TV to Hungary, but it wasn’t until 1990, following the fall of the Soviet regime, that private television and radio stations emerged, ending the state monopoly on broadcasting.
