That is one side of it. On the other side, 2FM has been referred to here as well as the definition of public service broadcasting. People on the commercial side would say that public service broadcasting is not part of 2FM and that 2FM is losing money and can be propped up by funding money from the licence payer. They are alleging that this is an unfair advantage. For example, Today FM would be a similar type of station but if Today FM was not paying its way, it would be cut adrift whereas 2FM is not cut adrift.
