Explain yourselves krauts, I don't believe it
Germans have to PAY to use the radio
>pay for radio
>pay extra for heating
>pay for holocaust
>pay for greece
when will the germans ramp up the dough? we need more money
Krauts are worthless
All they care about are skinny jeans, wind mills, and wearing the cuck mask
We pay for all media, it's basically a fee for getting (mostly) quality government tv.
>for getting (mostly) quality government tv
Come on, lad, you and I both know it doesn't work like that.
we pay for our propaganda
are you mad usa is sending so much money to ukraine?
Do you have less ads? The radio plays 2-3 songs in a run then 10 minutes of commercials at a louder volume than the fucking music
also manche sendungen sind schon ganz gut, frontal21 und weltspiegel undso
maybe every 30 min or so
Except it is a lie, because the government TV nowadays hosts advertising. The directors are filthy rich.
On top of that it doesn't even matter if you own a TV or radio you just have to pay the broadcasting fee regardless.
You think ukraine is actually getting that money?
Zelenskys parents are in Israel. So I'm sure a lot of funds are being diverted their to support refugees
It literally does tho, yes there's the usual gigalibtard shit, but generally there's few media that's more unbiased than German government reporting. Even in the most partisan conflicts, for example the Russia Ukraine Situation, they try to explain Russia's position instead of Le classic CNBC or CNN-tier "they want to conquer ZE WORLLLD" shit
There is a limit on ads, like 20 min a day.
Americans need loicenses for collecting water and using ham radio too. Lol
When I was in Germany I never paid the Rundfunksbeitrag and thousands of others don't pay it either. It's 100% an honor system thing, but the entire prospect of the government demanding that you pay money to private corporations for services that you don't use is utterly preposterous on so many levels. Those kikes didn't get a single red euro cent from me.
>Because of current situation my favorite radio can no longer buy songs, and instead they just torrent them, so I can hear all those 2010 rock songs again
Fucking great
you technically need a radio loicence here too to transmit, think that goes for most of the civilized world.
Most egregious of all, americans have the disgusting concept of pic related. Imagine not being able to decorate your house and land however the fuck you want
>private corporations
lol, media is under government control in Germany.
In Poland you also have to pay a yearly fee to legally use radio and TV, but in reality nobody pays it since 1989 beside some old boomers from countryside. The state is unable to enforce this fee and for 30 years the next governments debate over reforming and enforcing this. To this day, collecting this fee is outsourced to... Polish Post and theoretically the mailman is supposed to check if you have in your house radio/tv and don't pay for it.
