Danes use DR around the clock
For the Danes DR is a natural part of life. During a week, 84% of the population watches DR TV and 85% listens to DR Radio. This means that on a weekly basis 9 out of 10 Danes take advantage of DR’s many offers of information and entertainment. On average DR offers 24 hours of television and 162 hours of radio during a 24-hour period (2000). Access to DR’s programmes on the two TV channels and four radio stations costs Danish households only *DKK 4.50 per day (DR’s share of a colour licence fee in 2001).
DR is the country’s only purely licence-financed radio/TV station. The full licence financing means that DR programming is independent of advertising. DR has a public service obligation requiring DR Radio and DR TV to present a wide choice of programmes for all age and social groups. The public service obligation also means that DR must provide objective and professional news coverage. DR is the country’s largest electronic news provider on radio, television and the Internet, and news and current affairs are a cornerstone for DR as a public service station.
