If you still didn’t understand it, these days there are more private channels than public channels.
When it was still Billag, you paid more, in the pot, (I don’t remember the percentage, that’s why I say roughly)
The private broadcasters received part of the pot (around 35 percent of the whole was distributed to these broadcasters), the public broadcasters received 45 percent of the pot, and the rest was distributed to the regional broadcasters!
After the abolition of Billag, came Seraf, where you pay less, which means less in the pot for distribution without VAT, but with more private channels, so what was lost has to flow in somewhere.
Because there has always been advertising, and the advertising provider demands, let’s say, 10 commercial blocks per day (this is just an example) to the station where it is to be broadcast, and in return they get x…. sfr!
So, after that it doesn’t matter whether someone watches the advert, the main thing is that the advert has to be running, with the direct program afterwards it doesn’t matter whether it is overplayed in replay, in the past with video recordings you recorded the advert but you could fast forward, back then nobody had anything said, that’s why I say, there are more channels and fewer in the pot and less to distribute, that’s why this new regulation, in a year, I’m sure we’ll have to watch the advertising anyway and with the current ones Channels that don’t charge anything yet, that’s for sure, that’s why it would have been better to say, surcharge because of…. and not the excuse with advertising, because seraf distributes less, the bills are without VAT
