[hide] *1 Organization  ==Organization[ Edit] == FunX BV is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Foundation G4 Radio. This Foundation is a partnership of the local broadcasters of the four major cities: SALTO Omroep Amsterdam, Stichting Open Rotterdam, RTV Utrecht and the Hague City broadcasting. The airwaves licenses from the local editions of FunX stand on name of these four local public service broadcasters. The country-side rural version is officially a public task of the Dutch public broadcasting, which fills out a production command for this purpose and FunX BV the name right has forgiven. Until 2006 was the National Edition affiliated with BNN, but since the end of 2006, the Governing Council of the NOS --the largest financier of FunX--a direct binding (via the Foundation Colorful Radio) with FunX built up. ==History[ Edit] == After Colorful Radio in 2005 by the Commissariaat voor de media was labeled as an illegal sideline, there was space for radio station FunX and rural. Thanks to a suspensory decision of State Secretary Medy van der Laan and in 2008 a positive Court ruling for FunX, can continue to broadcast nationwide on the ability of the FunX Foundation Colorful Radio via digital terrestrial (DVB-T and DAB), cable, internet and satellite. ==Financing[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The channel is funded by the four participating broadcasters, the Governing Council of the Dutch broadcasting Foundation (NOS) and the Ministry of education, culture and science, and has in addition income from advertising apply. A total of 3.8 million euros in subsidies and FunX receives public funds. The Board of Directors of the NIS contributes approximately 2 million euro from 1 January 2009 to (2008: EUR 1.7 million). Because of the more rural structure and look of the channel wanted an end to grant her relationship with the transmitter. The City Council finally decided, partly under pressure from FunX BV, the subsidy to continue anyway and goes also through the years to come. ===Grant stop<span class="mw-editsection" len="323" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">On 17 June 2011, it was announced that the Central Government subsidy of FunX after 2012 will be void.
