By Reuters Staff (Adds U.S. State Dept statement) BRUSSELS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The European Commission expressed concern on Wednesday over media freedom in Hungary and Poland, both under investigation for flouting the rule of law, as Budapest shut an opposition radio station and Warsaw proposed a levy on private media. Hungary’s Klubradio, which has been broadcasting for 19 years and whose political and talk show guests often criticise government policies, lost its broadcasting licence on Tuesday and will be forced off the air. In Poland, many private media outlets went off the air on Wednesday, running slogans such as “This used to be your favourite programme”, in protest against a proposed media advertising tax they say threatens media independence and diversity.
