DLO

The Broadcasting Organisation of Dryicor (Finnish: Drahkorin Lähetysorganisaatio, Norwegian: Drykorsk Kringskastingsorganisasjon), known by its Finnish acronym DLO, is the public service broadcasting company in Dryicor. Modelled on the United Kingdom's, it is funded partially by its commercial arm, DLO International and its studio arm DLO Studios, and commercial breaks, supplemented by the local licence fee of between 240 Kr and 1 500 Kr per year, depending on wealth and tax bracket (minors, over-75s and those on low incomes are exempt).

Name and identity
The organisation is referred to usually by a slurring of its Finnish acronym, "DLO", pronounced deh-loh. Occasionally in English it was referred to by an acronym of its English name, "BOD", however since the 1990s that has mostly fallen out of use, especially so since 2014.

The logo of the DLO is a TV camera. This was firstly adopted in 1982, and has been revised now and again since. Originally the TV camera was not present.

History
The organisation was set up by the Ministry for Information in 1924, after seeing the potential of the BBC in the UK, the Dryicoran Government invested a total of 30 million Kr (around 75 million Kr today). Many in government saw the idea of a broadcasting service on the radio as a way to connect the different parts of the country previously more disconnected due to the mountainous terrain.
