What is Television licence?
{{No sources|date=May 2020}} The '''television licence''' (sometimes called the ''TV licence'' or the ''television tax'') is a small [[tax]] that people pay to watch [[television]]. It is used to pay, or part-pay, for the local [[public broadcaster]], such as the [[BBC]] in the [[United Kingdom]]. It mainly exists in [[Europe]], [[East Asia]] and parts of [[Africa]]. The licence fee varies in size from a few [[euro]]s to around 350 euros per year in [[Iceland]]. In return for paying the licence, the broadcaster does have few or no [[advert]]s. In the past, before television was well known, people used to have a radio licence, which is a roughly the same as television licence, but for [[radio]]. Some countries still have the radio licence together with the television licence. [[Category:Television|License]] {{tv-stub}}
