Abstract: The funding system for public broadcasting in Germany is facing several difficulties: The existing license fee “Rundfunkbeitrag” causes discontent in the society and creates constitutional violations. Therefore, a reformation of public broadcasting funding is necessary. In this article, an alternative model is discussed, namely the implementation of a tax-financed system. Public broadcasting should receive payments from the budgets of the federal states to fulfill its tasks. At the same time, commercials should be banned from public broadcasting, because partial dependency on the advertising industry has a negative influence on the programming.
