A free press operates under Danish law and the media, which cover a broad range of political views, are frequently critical of government policy. Danmarks Radio (DR), funded by a licence fee, is Denmark's main public broadcaster, operating two TV networks as well as national and regional radio stations. TV2, a national public-service TV station, is partly state funded. Private satellite and cable TV stations also exist. There are some 250 local commercial and community radio stations on the air. Two commercial networks, one national and one semi-national, were launched in 2003 and quickly became popular.
