Free-to-air television

Free-to-air television refers to broadcast TV channels that are accessible without a subscription fee. These channels transmit signals via radio waves, which can be received with a standard antenna connected to a television. They are funded primarily through advertising revenue and include major networks, local stations, and public broadcasters. This setup allows viewers to access news, entertainment, and educational content at no cost, as long as they are within the signal range. Free-to-air TV provides wide accessibility, especially in areas with limited internet infrastructure, making it an essential source of information and entertainment for many households.
