This nonprofit organization is the legal successor to each of the four formerly separate entities managed by Médiaszolgáltatás-támogató és Vagyonkezelő Alap (MTVA).

Duna Media is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is funded by MTVA.

Both directorates are headed by external managers, the former being Zoltán István Tóth, former member of the Television Jury of the National Film Institute and 777blog.hu, a blog committed to Christian values (he used to head the Country Image Centre and worked at Hír TV and MTVA); the latter is Róbert Kárász, who has been a presenter at ATV since 2017 (he used to work at TV2 and RTL).
