History

When radio broadcasting was organized in the 1920s, it was decided to adopt a model similar to the one of the British Broadcasting Company in the United Kingdom. The British Broadcasting Company Ltd was a British commercial company formed on 18 October 1922 by British and American electrical companies doing business in the United The radio would be a monopoly funded by a license fee and organized as a limited company, Radiotjänst ("Radio service"), owned by the radio industry and the press. Sveriges Radio AB (SR &ndash Sweden's Radio Ltd &ndash is Sweden 's national publicly funded radio broadcaster [1] The transmitters were owned by the state through Telegrafverket and the press held a monopoly on newscasts through Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå lost its monopoly on newscasts de jure in 1947 and de facto in 1956, but otherwise the same model would be applied to television. [2]

It was decided to start test transmissions of television in June 1954. The first transmissions were made on October 29, 1954 from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The Royal Institute of Technology or Kungliga Tekniska högskolan ( KTH) is a University in Stockholm, Sweden. ('stɔkhɔlm is Sweden 's Capital and its largest City.

Television started broadcasting regularly in 1957. At the same time, Radiotjänst was renamed Sveriges Radio (SR) and its ownership changed. Sveriges Radio AB (SR &ndash Sweden's Radio Ltd &ndash is Sweden 's national publicly funded radio broadcaster The state and the press would have equaled 40% shares, while the company would own 20% (in 1967, the state increased its share to 60% at the expense of the press).

In 1958, the first newscast, Aktuellt, was broadcast. Aktuellt ( Current Events) is a twice-daily news programme produced by Sveriges Television (SVT and broadcast on its second channel SVT2 in During the 1960s a second TV channel was frequently discussed. The discussions resulted in the start of TV2 on December 5, 1969. SVT2, until 1996 TV2, is one of two Television channels broadcast by Sveriges Television in Sweden. The first channel was named TV1 and the two channels were supposed to broadcast in "stimulating competition" within the same company. [3]

When TV2 started the news programmes were reorganised. Aktuellt was cut and replaced with TV-nytt, which was in charge of the main 7:30 bulletin on TV1 as well as news updates on both channels. TV-nytt is the name of the daily Television News programmes on the Finland-Swedish TV channel FST5. In addition, the two channels would get one "commenting bulletin" each. TV2 got Rapport and TV1 got Nu. Rapport (literally translated as Report) is one of the two main news programmes from the Swedish television broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT [4]

At the end of the 70s SR was reorganised. From 1 July, 1979, Sveriges Radio AB became the mother of four companies: Sveriges Riksradio (RR) for national radio, Sveriges Lokalradio (LRAB) for local radio, Sveriges Utbildningsradio (UR) for educational broadcasting and Sveriges Television (SVT) for television.

In 1992, the Riksdag decided that Sveriges Radio would reorganise once again into three independent companies (with RR and LRAB merged). From 1994, they would be owned by three independent foundations. The three foundations would later change into one foundation. [6]

In 1990, broadcasts would usually start at 4 p. m. and finish before midnight. The 1990s saw an increase in broadcasting time with reruns in the afternoon, a morning show and lunch-time news bulletins. SVT also met competition from the young commercial broadcasters. TV3 became the first channel to break the SVT state-monopoly on Swedish-language television and in 1992, the newly elected right-wing parliament allowed TV4 to start broadcasts in the terrestrially.

SVT2, until 1996 TV2, is one of two Television channels broadcast by Sveriges Television in Sweden. The first season of Expedition: Robinson (Survivor) was shown in 1997.

SVT24 or 24 is a Swedish language TV channel broadcast by Sveriges Television (SVT 2000 saw the reorganisation of the news desks. Aktuellt, Rapport and SVT24 were merged into one central news desk.

In 2001 a new logo and new programme schedules, among other things, were introduced. This made SVT1 the broader mainstream channel with higher ratings and SVT2 the more narrow channel. The main news bulletins at 7:30 and 9 switched channels with Aktuellt, now shown on SVT2, and Rapport, on SVT1.

The regional channels were shut down in the beginning of 2002 and were replaced by SVT Extra. In December 2002, a new channel known as Barnkanalen began showing children's programmes during the day.

News

News programmes are an important part of SVT. Since 1972 there have been two main news programmes: Rapport and Aktuellt (translated "Report" and "Current [events]", respectively). Rapport (literally translated as Report) is one of the two main news programmes from the Swedish television broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT Aktuellt ( Current Events) is a twice-daily news programme produced by Sveriges Television (SVT and broadcast on its second channel SVT2 in The two news programmes had completely separate organisations, meaning a lot of duplicated coverage was provided. After some co-operation in the 1990s, the two programmes were allowed to merge in 2000 with the newly created SVT24 to form a single organisation. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. SVT24 or 24 is a Swedish language TV channel broadcast by Sveriges Television (SVT The different programme names and identities were kept, however. Eventually, Rapport has become the main news programme, and Aktuellt will only broadcast one bulletin per day from autumn 2007.

The main national news bulletins are Aktuellt at 6 o'clock, Rapport at 7. 30 and the more in-depth Aktuellt at 9. Additionally, news bulletins are shown in the mornings and throughout the day on SVT1 and SVT24. These use the Rapport brand.

SVT also provides three minority news programmes: Uutiset in Finnish, Ođđasat in Sami and Nyhetstecken in Swedish Sign language. Finnish ( or suomen kieli) is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland (92% As of 2006) and by ethnic Finns outside Ođđasat is a Sami News programme broadcasted in Finland ( YLE) Norway ( NRK) and Sweden ( SVT) Sami or Saami is a general name for a group of Finnic languages spoken by the Sami people in parts of northern Finland, Norway

Right-wing Swedish commentators have criticized the news as being biased in favour of the leftwing parties. According to the SOM Institute at the University of Gothenburg, a disproportionate number of journalists support the socialist parties as opposed to the conservative, liberal or centrist ones compared to the Swedish public. The University of Gothenburg ( Swedish: Göteborgs universitet) is a University in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden. In 1999 6% of SVT's journalists supported the Moderate Party (compared to 23% of the general public) while over 33% (12% of the general public) supported the socialist Left Party, 14% (5%) the Green Party, and 23% (36%) the Social Democrats. This article refers to the Swedish political party for the group that dominated the Church of Scotland in the 18th century see Moderate Party (Scotland The Left Party ( Vänsterpartiet) is a Socialist and Feminist political party in Sweden, from 1967 to 1990 known as the Left The Green Party (Miljöpartiet de Gröna literally "The Environment Party the Green ones" and usually simply referred to in Sweden as Miljöpartiet: the "The The Swedish Social Democratic Party, (Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti 'Social Democratic Workers' Party of Sweden' contests elections as 'Workers' Party - Social Democrats' [7] However, the study concluded that the private political opinions of the journalists had little impact on their work and that news stories are treated the same regardless of the political colour of the journalist[7]. Also, the University of Gothenburg made another study during the Swedish 2006 general election, comparing SVT:s news programme Rapport to the country's five largest newspapers. A general election was held in Sweden on September 17, 2006, to elect members to the Swedish parliament. The study concluded that Rapport's coverage of the election was the most balanced of them all [8].

Viewing

Since the arrival of commercial television, the combined SVT share of the viewing has declined steadily, and the digital niche channels have also provided competition. The first time the commercial TV4 was the largest channel for a full year was in 1995 and they maintained this position until 2002 when SVT1 passed TV4. TV4 became the most watched channel again in 2006.

The combined viewing share passed 50% in 1997 and 40% in 2005. SVT is however still the most watched television company in Sweden with a share of 38. 3% in 2006.

Although SVT is still the company with the highest viewing share, they have trouble attracting younger viewers. Among the 15-24 agers, all three major commercial channels are larger than the two SVT channels combined. [11]
