Always found that interesting in Europe. In Brazil, you don't pay for "public-broadcast" (as we call here, open TV). But could you tell me more about private channels on public TV?
- lmb 9y agoIn Germany you have to get a TV License for every household that owns a TV. That money is used to fund public broadcasters like ARD, WDR, etc. Now, you can watch the privately funded TV stations from the same TV ofc, but they don't receive money from the Govt. Instead they are funded by ads, etc.
- dobecker 9y agoThis is outdated. It doesnt matter if you have a TV at all, every household has to pay
- Freak_NL 9y ago> In Brazil, you don't pay for "public-broadcast" […] Are you sure the public broadcasters (e.g., EBC) aren't financed by tax-payer money? In the Netherlands there is no separate fee for public broadcasting, but we all pay for our public, free-to-air television and radio via taxes.
- krageon 9y agoThere is a mandatory fee that you will pay for being connected to cable (which most people are, even if they don't necessarily use the TV). This pays for the "free" channels that everyone gets.
