TV fees in germany as well. but that is okay, in principle, since the program of the public broadcasters must be payed for in any way, and they are not allowed to interrupt movies with commercials, and sned them between broadcastings after 2000. I prefer that system any toime to the commercial madness oyu have on american TV, which probably is the worst case scenario of how to use commercials on TV - excessively.

But no matter who pays how, program quality is constantly detoriating, it has become become wide, but thin, introducing a lot of BS, but doing almost nothing really good anymore. We also need to pay the TV fees even if we own no TV or radio, only an internet-capable PC. another no-no for me.
