Its functions are determined by a legal foundation which lays down the principles under which the broadcaster operates and the structure of its internal organization.</p> <p>The broadcast law is supplemented by the so-called Broadcast State Contract (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag), a multilateral agreement between all 16 German <a href="/web/20150410133010/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Germany" title="States of Germany">Länder</a> which regulates the relationship of public and private broadcast in the dual broadcast system and which contains fundamental regulations particularly for financing. Just as important for the work of Bavarian Broadcasting is the cooperation of the <a href="/web/20150410133010/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARD_(broadcaster)" title="ARD (broadcaster)">ARD</a> consortium, consisting of nine other regional broadcasting corporates as well as <a href="/web/20150410133010/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Welle" title="Deutsche Welle">Deutsche Welle</a>. The broadcasting service is further backed by the relevant European legal bases as well as the media service convention, which contain regulations for the on-line offerings of Bavarian Broadcasting.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Funding">Funding</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150410133010/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bayerischer_Rundfunk&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Funding">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>BR is in part funded by commercial activity, including the limited sale of on-air commercial advertising time; however, its principal source of income is the revenue derived from viewer and listener <a href="/web/20150410133010/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licence" title="Television licence">licence fees</a>. As of 2013 the monthly fee due from each household for radio and television reception was €17.98: the equivalent of €0.59 per day, payable quarterly, half-yearly, or annually.
