The public broadcasting system is government financed. The commercial broadcasting system is partly situa-ted in Luxembourg, due to legal regulations. Most viewers have cable TV and therefore have a wide variety of national and international channels to choose from. Local news receives the main coverage, but national news is covered too. Talkshows, films and art programmes are also broadcast.
Broadcasts are daily.

In the larger cities it is especially evident that The Netherlands is a colourful country. Immigrants have come from vari-ous parts of the world and in particular Surinam, Indonesia, Morocco and Turkey.
