Broadcasts on Hungary's national television and radio channels stopped on Tuesday afternoon after a temporary management team was installed.
Shutting down the service had long been a promise of Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who took power in April after ousting Viktor Orbán, who had governed Hungary for 16 years.
MTVA's television channel is currently showing a black screen with a message of apology: "Public media cannot lie. We apologise because we did this anyway."
