• About the comprehensive benchmarking of licence-fee collection systems, exemptions and evasion rates.

Despite the pressure, the licence fee still accounts for 60% of all PSM revenues across 25 countries within the EBU area. Stories of effective and successful transformation may also inspire countries looking for ways to future-proof how they fund their public broadcasters with a system that remains affordable and favours PSM accountability
