Of course, there is a great variety of Dutch and foreign language periodicals on sale. The Netherlands has both a public and a commercial broadcasting system. 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. The people in The Netherlands form a colourful society, full of cultural and ethnic variety. Many religious persuasions are represented, and so whatever your beliefs, you will find a group that shares them. Despite the variety, most Dutch people's convictions fall into a few main streams.
