Between 1999 and 2001, through the continuous intervention and significant support of President Lajos Győrffy and Secretary Károly Dombi of OHCC, it became possible for a Hungarian-language program to be created through the CHIN Ottawa’s Multicultural Radio Station.
Starting in June 2002, the CHIN radio network invited the leadership of the OHCC to participate in the CRTC hearings for the new multicultural broadcast in Ottawa, as a result of which the Hungarian Radio broadcast began in December 2003, led by Éva Hadházy.
From 2006, the program editing was taken over by Károly Dombi, who held this role until the end of May 2015. In recognition of his successful work over nine years, Károly Dombi was awarded the Golden Cross of Merit of Hungary.
