| I had not realized you had to pay a separate fee to receive the BBC.
Here in the Netherlands, we do not need a tv license to receive public radio and television - though there used to be a tax on having a tv a very long time ago. All you need is a working cable or antenna.
However, we do get commercials on our public channels. Not quite as many as on the commercial channels (which you have to pay for to receive), but still. Additionally, the public channels receive a public subsidy, though that is getting slashed more and more. That's unfortunate, because they really did provide better quality programming than the commercial alternatives.
