- igivanov 13y agoThis is more relevant in the context (i.e. RT broadcasts for foreign audiences): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "Though sharing some of the facilities of the domestic services, particularly for news and current affairs output, the World Service has a separate Managing Director, and its operating costs have historically been funded mainly by direct grants from the British government." Even the TV license fee is just a tax collected and redistributed by the government.
