Switzerland votes on its TV licence fee
Votes 72% in favour of retention. I understand from previous research done in the UK it's about the same here although I would expect a lower level of support from members of a cable TV forum such as Cable Forum. Anyway, interesting to see the support despite living in an era of Netflix.

Swiss public TV and radio broadcaster SRG SSR will continue to be financed through the public licence fee.
The clear majority of voters (71.6%) rejected the No Billag initiative in the today’s referendum. This was the case in all linguistic regions of Switzerland.
“March 4, 2018 will go down as a turning point in the history of SRG,” said SRG’s Director General Gilles Marchand in Bern. “We are pleased about the result of the vote. But we are very aware that it places us under an obligation: an obligation to keep in even closer contact with our target audiences and to change accordingly. We are happy to accept that obligation – while always remaining guided by society, by Switzerland and by its people.”
