Corin: It's not an error. "Funded" is correct.
In the UK broadcasters finance their own programmes (or have finance arranged from a bank loan or overdraft or something similar).
The programmes broadcast with spot-adverts, which are payed for at the end of the invoice period.
Therefore the programmes on the channel, and the channel itself is funded by spot-ads.
