One of the most common arguments in the current debate about financing public service media in Finland is that the traditional TV fee has become obsolete due to the technological development.
However, instead of having abandoned TV for new media, people are actually using their traditional TV sets even more like before. Rather than being a victim of technological obsolescence, the problem of the TV fee is its diluting social acceptance due to a growing dominance of a neoliberal media paradigm.

The sponsorship model violated the print media norm that editorial content and advertising are produced separately. Key figures in the advertising industry, including some who had worked for radio sponsors, objected to sponsorship. This essay traces the anti-sponsorship discourse within the advertising industry during the radio network era. These insider critiques of sponsorship contributed to the shift away from sponsorship in the 1950s and toward a business model in which advertisers purchased interstitial minutes for commercials from networks, which controlled programming, thus returning broadcasting to the print media norm of separated editorial and advertising content.
