To whom does that money go though? In the UK we pay a 'TV' tax to watch broadcast programmes from all and every broadcaster but the tax, in its entirety, funds only the BBC.You can you really choose whether or not you want to pay for public service broadcasting?
In Germany, every household, whether it wants to or not, has to pay 17.50 euros a month plus what the broadcasters earn for advertising, just over 8 billion every year.
