¹ Li­censed broad­casters of Swiss pro­gramme ser­vices pay an an­nu­al fee for their li­cence. The rev­en­ue from the li­cence fee is used primar­ily to pro­mote re­search pro­jects in the ra­dio and tele­vi­sion sec­tor (Art. 77), and sec­ond­ar­ily for new broad­cast­ing tech­no­lo­gies (Art. 58).³⁵

² The fee amounts to a max­im­um of 1 per cent of the gross rev­en­ue from ad­vert­ising and spon­sor­ship. The Fed­er­al Coun­cil de­term­ines the amount of the fee and an ex­emp­tion amount.
