Does Deutsche Welle receive funding from subscription fees?
For the most part, DW is allocated funds by the federal government from German tax revenues.
With the restructuring of the broadcast landscape following German unification, DW is the only remaining broadcaster organised under federal law. Unlike the ARD public broadcasting networks, DeutschlandRadio and ZDF, DW receives no funding from subscription fees.
The DW budget is approximately about 260 million Euros.
