Voters in Liechtenstein withdraw state funding from the country's public radio broadcaster
Voters in Liechtenstein have voted to withdraw state funding from the tiny country’s public radio broadcaster, a decision that leaves the station’s future in doubt.
The station was slated to get public funding to the tune of 3.95 million Swiss francs
TIL Liechtenstein is so small that they don't even bother having their own money.
I mean I knew it was small, but that's small. Even Malta had its own version of the lira before it switched to the euro.
Before the Euro Luxembourg was in a monetary union with Belgium as well.
But Luxembourg did have its own coins and banknotes.
It says Radio Liechtenstein had an average 11,400 daily listeners in the country in 2021, the last year for which figures are available. Liechtenstein is a principality of about 39,000 people that borders Switzerland and Austria.
I'm honestly kinda impressed they're getting almost 30% of the country's population to tune in.
I'm extremely impressed! And now saddened!
Now they'll never have Car Talk: Lichtenstein Edition.
Poor fools.
Is the Liechtenstein accent the German equivalent of the New England accent?
Another threat to public institutions driven by dictatorships relentless social media misinformation campaign to drive us back into the Middle Ages.
Can we please stop defunding everything public?
Not everything needs to be incentivized by moneys.
