The Sveriges Radio building in Stockholm


Sveriges Radio AB (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈsværjɛs ˈrɑːdɪʊ], "Sweden's Radio") is Sweden's national publicly funded radio broadcaster. Sveriges Radio is a public limited company, owned by an independent foundation, and funded through a licensing fee, the level of which is decided by the Swedish Riksdag. No advertising is permitted. Its legal status could be described as that of a quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization.

History[edit]


The company – which was founded as AB Radiotjänst ("Radio Service Ltd") by a consortium of newspaper companies, the TT news agency, and radio manufacturing interests on 21 March 1924 – made its first broadcast on 1 January 1925: a relay of High Mass from St James's Church in Stockholm. It was officially renamed Sveriges Radio in 1957.


Sveriges Radio was originally responsible for all broadcasting in Sweden, both radio and television, and hosted the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest. A reorganization in 1979 saw it become the parent company of four subsidiaries:



  • Sveriges Riksradio (RR), Swedish National Radio;

  • Sveriges Lokalradio (LRAB), Swedish Local Radio;


  • Sveriges Utbildningsradio (UR), Swedish Educational Broadcasting; and


  • Sveriges Television (SVT), Swedish Television.


This structure was dissolved in 1993 with the national and local radio companies merging under the name of the old parent company: Sveriges Radio AB.



National radio[edit]


Four radio channels are available nationwide on FM and via the internet.[1]




  • P1: news, culture, debate, readings, documentaries, etc. Almost no music is played, except in the daily summertime programme Sommar, in which guest presenters introduce their own choice of music.


  • P2: classical music, folk, jazz and world music; the channel also carries some minority-language programming.


  • P3: popular music and comedy targeted at a younger audience.


  • P4: popular music, entertainment and sport, chiefly targeted at an older audience; the network is made up of 25 local stations, each of which carries a mix of local and national programming.
