Television licensing in Sweden

Television licensing in Sweden

In Sweden, the television licence fee ( _sv. TV-avgift, literally "TV fee") is set by the Riksdag and goes directly to the funding of the three public service broadcasters Sveriges Television, Sveriges Radio and Sveriges Utbildningsradio enabling them to provide domestic public service broadcasting to educate, inform and entertain, free of commercial advertising. [ [http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=6213&a=72042 Sveriges Television] ] The licence fees also fund Radiotjänst i Kiruna, the private corporation tasked with collecting the licence fees.
