At that time, the Apollo Association reported to the Audiovisual Council that Dan Lozovan controlled the radio and television stations Super TV, Mega TV, TV Dixi, Hit FM, Radio Stil, and Radio Alla. In 2016, the press reported that two of the TV stations controlled by Dan Lozovan were sold to the media holding owned at the time by the Moldovan oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc.
