RTVE

The Corporación de Radio y Televisión Española, S.A.[3] (Spanish: [koɾpoɾaˈθjon de ˈraðjo j teleβiˈsjon espaˈɲola]; transl. 'Spanish Radio and Television Corporation'), known as Radiotelevisión Española or RTVE, is the state-owned public corporation that assumed in 2007 the indirect management of the Spanish public radio and television service known as Ente Público Radiotelevisión Española. It provides multi-station television (TVE) and radio services (RNE), as well as online and streaming services. Since the entry into force of the Ley de Financiación de RTVE in 2009, RTVE is primarily funded by a combination of subsidies from the General State Budget and a fee levied on the private agents' gross revenue (3.0 % for private free-to-air channels, a 1.5 % for private subscription channels and a 0.9 % for telecom companies).
