No, not required.

used to be such a thing as a radiolupa!

Can't much remember it myself though (then again we didn't have a radio at home at the time
only the telly... IIRC the telly licence used to be a bit cheaper, if you had a B/W set - but that's changed too)

Wow, I never knew that, thanks Sammy!
There again. back in those days the telly didn't start broadcasting until early evening, first on one, and then on the other available channel.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Helsinki University of Technology students living in the Otaniemi student village used to circumvent the radio license requirement by building their own public address system. Some stories about that (in Finnish):
