Free? Reported for tax man get f***ed tax dodgerCome here, to Finland, every single game, live, for free
For all the (deserved) criticism our national broadcasting company gets, having both the Euros and World Cup free of charge (well, outside of taxes of course) on TV is pretty neat.Come here, to Finland, every single game, live, for free
Well depending on one's income, they can be free. Low enough, it is.Free? Reported for tax man get f***ed tax dodger
And Yle's presentation is miles above the commercial/pay channels.For all the (deserved) criticism our national broadcasting company gets, having both the Euros and World Cup free of charge (well, outside of taxes of course) on TV is pretty neat.

There's a "Yle tax", the amount one pays depends on one's income. For the unemployed, it's minimal or nothing and goes up depending on the income.Just curious now on the technicalities of it, here in the Czech Republic every household technically pays a concession fee for the national TV/radio broadcasters (which you can or at least used to be able to opt out of if you didn't have ANY tv/radio at home and wanted to be a dick about it). The amount is quite small and obviously does not cover all the costs. Does Finland have this as well or is it purely through the general budget?
The European Union Audiovisual Media Services Directive stipulates that major events such as these are to be publicly available.For all the (deserved) criticism our national broadcasting company gets, having both the Euros and World Cup free of charge (well, outside of taxes of course) on TV is pretty neat.
I know it's on Finnish law that certain big sports events must be on TV. Didn't know about EU directive on it.The European Union Audiovisual Media Services Directive stipulates that major events such as these are to be publicly available.
