 | | In this same period the public broadcasters, which transmit on three television channels (Nederland 1, 2 and 3), have seen a halving of their share of the public's viewing time, which has dropped from around 75% in 1990 to stabilise at just under 40% in the last few years. |
 | | The broadcasting time on the public radio and television channels is shared by a large number of private organisations which have obtained a broadcasting licence because they represent a certain section of the population (broadcasting associations and small licensed broadcasters) or have a specific programming brief (NOS, NPS and the educational broadcasting service). |
 | | Until 2000, the public broadcasting system in the Netherlands was funded from the (fluctuating) advertising revenues of STER and the licence fee, which was fixed by law and had to be paid by every household in possession of a radio and/or television set. |
