When I go to France, I’m amazed at how many clear TV channels you can get over the air for free. Same with radio stations. And every region has their local little thing going on alongside the big players like Virgin or whatever. I never met anyone there that had a cable subscription.
To me, this is one sign of a healthy democracy because information and entertainment isn’t blocked behind paid subscriptions and not all sources are manipulated by mega media corporations to provide biased information and opinions.
Are you sure the tv channels are free? I’m only familiar with Germany: you can get a ton of channels as well but you have to essentially pay a tax for having a tv.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !canada@lemmy.ca

Well it’s “free” in the same sense that healthcare is “free”. Everybody contributes a little bit.
Yes in France they have the same kind of tax.
