The image is wrong

The image is wrong. In Spain, since January this year, public broadcasting is only funded by government grants. http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20090716/nueva-ley-financiacion-rtve-permite-patrocinio-limitado-eventos-deportivos/285196.shtml (in spanish, sorry) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ric delg (talk • contribs) 23:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also wrong...

France (France Télévisions) is funded by a licence fee AND advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.38.224.126 (talk) 20:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Same standards for Germany and UK

Why do the UK and Germany have different colours? In Germany, the public broadcasters (ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio) are funded by advertising (ARD and ZDF only) and licence fees. They don't get government grants. However international broadcaster Deutsche Welle is funded by government grants. In the UK, the BBC is funded by licence fees, Channel 4 by advertising and BFBS and BBC World service by government grants (and S4C by everything). So if military and international broadcasting are included, both countries should be yellow, if not, both should be blue. Or if you prefer a by-broadcaster stripping solution, UK should be stripped red-orange-darkgreen-yellow, and Germany should be stripped red-blue-darkgreen (which both would be riddiculous). --88.64.142.34 20:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Austria

Austrian ORF is funded heavily by government grants, so it should be yellow. --88.64.142.34 20:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

France

Someone changed France from blue to red. But there is still advertising on the french public stations. Abolition of advertising is planned for the near future, but not in effect yet. --88.64.142.34 20:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

UK/France ... corrections needed

The BBC has no advertising in the UK. French public broadcasters do advertise (part of the day). Why is France red and the UK striped? This map is misleading. Tony (talk) 04:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
