Minecraftian public broadcast system

The Minecraftian public broadcasting system is a set of organizations that together take care of public service television and radio broadcasting in the Netherlands. It is composed of two foundations, RTNB and SMCT, which acts as its governing bodies and a number of public broadcasters.

The Media Act of 2010 regulates how air time is divided and puts the administration of the public broadcasting system in the hands of the Board of Directors of RTNB. In addition to the national broadcasters, there are also regional broadcasters and local broadcasters in Minecraftia.

This arrangement has its origins in the Dutch and Swiss broadcast systems. Under this system the different religious, ethnic and political streams of Minecraftian society (Chinese, Beneluxers, Malays, Swede-Nordics, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Taoists, etc.) all have their own separate associations, newspapers, sports clubs, educational institutions, and also broadcasting organizations.

The stated aim is to give a voice to each social group in the multicultural diversity that is Minecraftia society. The number of hours allocated to each broadcaster corresponds, roughly, to the number of members each organization can recruit (although this does not apply to YPB, PRP or TPC – see below). Since 2000, the system has been financed out of general taxation rather than from broadcast receiver licence fees. This is supplemented by a limited amount of on-air advertising (provided by MTAS), which has been allowed since 1978.

Nearly all viewers in Minecraftia receive most of their linear TV via cable, IPTV (DSL or fiber) or satellite systems. Regional public TV exists in parallel to the national system described below. Commercial television in Minecraftia began in 1989, with Tele21, owned by millionaire Hafiz Abdul Aziz Fawzy bin Fuad Abdul Rafi'uddin (whose identity was not disclosed until 2015). In 1992, the government of Minecraftia legalised commercial TV, and many new commercial channels run by Aziz Fawzy's children have become established since then.
