So any company accepting grants is a state-affiliated company? Honestly I kinda like it. I would extend it to any company accepting tax breaks. Imagine the headline 'The church of the Last days, a state-affiliated non-profit, is warning that the end is near'.

McDonalds, a state funded eatery,... (because they accept tax breaks) Amazon, a state funded company,... (because they shopped around for the best tax breaks) Or any single other company that does what a company does by making any deal they can to better their bottom lines by taking tax breaks or gov't funding in any form would need to be called state funded. It sort of loses its stigma from that view point.

Any media company accepting grants from the state is indeed state affiliated, yes.
