Financing
72,3% of DaTV's funding in 2017 comes from a mandatory annual payable license by anyone who owns or uses a TV or device capable of receiving TV broadcasts. The remainder comes from commercial activities such as programme and DVD sales, spin-off products and certain types of sponsorship. DaTV's license income in 2012 was around 10 billion danks. In the autumn of 2017, the government of Darkmania announced that it planned to change the way DaTV is financed by removing the license in favour of a 0,5% tax on television starting in 2018. As of 2018, the tax has brought in five and half a billion danks toward the channel in the year alone.
