Description
Retro Rádió is a Hungarian commercial FM network whose slogan is "Minden idők legnagyobb slágerei", the greatest hits of all time. It runs a fully presented weekday and weekend schedule built around well-known Hungarian radio personalities, with a breakfast show, a request programme, a Saturday cookery show and a Sunday oldies programme. Its site names RadioFactory Kft. as the website's owner at 1016 Budapest, Hegyalja út 7-13, names Hold Reklám Kft. as the médiaszolgáltató, and names the Nemzeti Média- és Hírközlési Hatóság as the supervising body.

Artists
the site's own "Most szól" ticker showed Cserháti Zsuzsa, "Hamu És Gyémánt", a Hungarian classic. The station also runs a "Retro Rádió TOP 1000" list it describes as updating daily. Beyond the single ticker line, the site publishes no current playlist I could read; see the withheld note on its Tracklisták section.

Contact route
yes, and plainly. A phone number that is also a Viber line, a general station email address, Facebook Messenger (m.me/retroradiomagyarorszag), and Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts the station links itself. A postal address at 1016 Budapest, Hegyalja út 7-13. The request programme explicitly invites calls, Viber messages and texts on that same number. Advertising sales go to a separate named contact at a media sales house.

Era
this is the whole point of the station. It is built on past decades of Hungarian and international hits, branded around the word "Retro" and the claim to play the greatest hits of all time, with a Sunday oldies programme, "Poptarisznya", drawing on its presenter's own collection.

Language
Hungarian. The whole site, all programme titles and all presenter links are Hungarian, and the now-playing ticker showed a Hungarian-language recording.

Kind
live and presented on air, with named hosts holding every published weekday daypart, a live request programme taking calls, Viber messages and texts, and a live now-playing ticker on the site.

Worth knowing
the station publishes its entire frequency network only as a picture. The heading "A Retro Rádió frekvenciái:" on its contact page is followed directly by a map image with no text list anywhere on the site, so a listener who cannot see the image cannot find out where to tune.

Where
Hungary, headquartered in Budapest at Hegyalja út 7-13. It is a national network, not a single-city station. Its own frequency map graphic, the only place it publishes coverage, shows eighteen FM frequencies spread across the country: FM 89.0, FM 93.6, FM 94.9, FM 95.7, FM 98.3, FM 98.4, FM 100.0, FM 100.5, FM 101.1, FM 101.2, FM 101.4, FM 101.6, FM 102.0, FM 102.8, FM 103.3, FM 103.5, FM 104.7 and FM 105.5. The map labels frequencies by position on the country outline only; it attaches no city names to any of them.

The last four are listed by name across the site's presenter strip without a slot on the current Műsorok grid, so they are on the roster but the grid does not say where.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| a single Budapest frequency for this station | its own map shows eighteen FM frequencies across Hungary and singles out no city. Taking the Budapest one would have been the assumption the brief warned against, so I listed all eighteen instead.
source |
| city names attached to each of those eighteen frequencies | the map labels them by position on the country outline and prints no place names at all. Assigning cities from where a blob sits would be my inference, not the station's statement.
source |
| the station's Tracklisták section as a current playlist | it contains exactly one entry, dated 2019.09.18. 11:39, while the rest of the site is current to this month. Seven years stale, so it is not evidence of what the station plays now.
source |
| Poptarisznya's airtime as "Vasárnap 14.00 - 18.00" | that is what the stale 2019 tracklist page says. The programme's own current page says "vasárnap 18:00 - 20:00". Two pages of the same site disagree and I published the current one.
source |
| guest names and studio details read off the site's embedded Instagram captions | those are social captions rather than published schedule, and the brief asks for current schedule only.
source |
| treating the frequency map as certainly current | its own upload path dates the asset to 2023/10 while the site is otherwise up to date this month. I published the frequencies it shows and am recording the asset's age rather than dropping it silently.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
