DR was originally funded by a media licence, however since 2022, the media license has been replaced by an addition to the Danish income tax.
Today, DR operates three television channels, all of which are distributed free-to-air via a nationwide DVB-T2 network. DR also operates seven radio channels. All are available nationally on DAB+ radio and online, with the four original stations also available on FM radio.
