A vote is scheduled for December in Geneva, where Eurovision’s governing body is expected to discuss whether Israel will be allowed to participate in the 2026 contest
Interesting. I didn’t know that the BBC is funded by the government. In Germany, the PSBs (ARD/ZDF) are funded directly via service fees. The government public broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) is no member of the EBU.
The BBC is funded by government from funds collected by the BBC from service users in the form of a licence fee. Certain parts of its foreign service are funded directly by government.

Ah ok. So in principle the same way like in Germany, except for foreign service which here is a separate broadcaster.
