Hey, that I did not know. In Holland, it's 'public', but not as in 'state' tv. The gov
does not interfere and does not censor. Some stations do, however.

Censorship? Ha, this reminds me of the pay channel we watched for a couple of minutes in
a Las Vegas hotel. That was an American blue movie and you had to pay for watching
that! Hahahaha! Hilarious!
