46-422: The Sparlösa Runestone was discovered in 1669 in the southern wall of the church at Sparlösa, now part of Vara Municipality . Before their historical value was understood, many runestones were used as construction material for roads, walls, and bridges. Following a fire at the church in 1684, the runestone was split in rebuilding the wall. It was removed from the wall in 1937 and the two sections reunited. The stone

92-458: A 50th-anniversary tribute to television in Sweden, which was the first live entertainment programme to be broadcast in high definition in Sweden. On 25 August 2008, new logos and channel identities were introduced on the network with Barnkanalen renamed SVTB and 24 returning to its former name of SVT24, while SVT1 began carrying Regionala Nyheter (regional news bulletins) for the first time. SVT

138-579: A follow-up bulletin at 19.55–20.00. SVT2 also broadcasts regional news following Aktuellt at 21.46–21.56 on Mondays to Thursdays and 21.25–21.30 on Fridays. There are no regional news bulletins on Saturdays. Kalles klätterträd ran on Sveriges Television starting in 1975 and grew to become one of the most popular children's programmes of the 1970s. The children's strand Bolibompa was broadcast every day at 18.00 on SVT1, before moving to SVTB in August 2008. SVT also airs foreign programming, primarily from

184-512: A goose fighting a snake. One side has a man and a cross band. One suggested interpretation is that the images on the stone are a memorial to Theodoric the Great , king of the Ostrogoths from 471 to 526 AD, with the building depicted on the stone a representation of his mausoleum . The other images, such as the crescent ship and the lion fighting the snake, can be interpreted as iconography of

230-570: 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. 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 Rapport , broadcast at 18.00 and 19.30, and Aktuellt which reports in greater depth at 21.00. Additionally, shorter news bulletins are shown in

276-400: Is 1.77 metres tall and it is dated to about 800 AD based upon its transitional use of rune forms from both the elder and younger futhark , but it has a probably younger line added to it saying Gisli made this memorial after Gunnar, his brother . The dating is based on the style of the images, such as a ship, which suggest the 8th century, like similar images from Gotland . However, a sail on

322-676: Is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden . Its seat is located in the town of Vara . The present municipality consists of 25 original local government entities (as of 1863). Between 1974 and 1982 the territory of present Essunga Municipality was also included. This is a demographic table based on Vara Municipality's electoral districts in the 2022 Swedish general election sourced from SVT 's election platform, in turn taken from SCB official statistics. In total there were 16,140 residents, including 12,219 Swedish citizens of voting age. 38.2% voted for

368-454: Is barred from accepting advertisements except in the case of sponsors for sporting events. Until the launch of the Swedish language satellite television channel TV3 in 1987, Sveriges Television provided the only Swedish television available to the public. SVT is still the biggest TV network in Sweden, with an audience share of 36.4 per cent. When radio broadcasting was first organised in

414-451: Is major breaking news out of Denmark however, SVT may also source live coverage from TV2. SVT has five regular channels broadcasting to Sweden: In addition to these channels, SVT has a special events channel called SVT Extra . It is generally unused and was (as of 2006) last used for live coverage during the 2004 Summer Olympic Games . In 2006, SVT launched a high-definition channel called SVT HD , simulcasting HD versions of programmes on

460-402: Is unrelated to the runic text and in one interpretation predates it. One side has a building at the top that is over a crescent ship with a sail marked with a cross and with two birds, possibly peacocks , on its yardarms. At the bottom is a man on horseback hunting a stag and using a hunting leopard , which is not native to Sweden. The next side has an owl, with a head reminding of a lion's, and

598-623: The Riksdag (national parliament). Prior to 2019, SVT was funded by a television licence fee payable by all owners of television sets . The Swedish public broadcasting system is largely modelled after the system used in the United Kingdom , and Sveriges Television shares many traits with its British counterpart, the BBC . SVT is a public limited company that can be described as a "quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation." Together with

644-492: The United States , United Kingdom and other Nordic countries, in their original audio with Swedish subtitles, as is the case on other Nordic television channels. The only cases in which dubbing is widespread is in programming aimed directly at children who are not expected to have learned reading skills yet. However, for some programmes, viewers may also access 'talking subtitles' through their remote where someone reads

690-605: The 1920s in Sweden, it was decided to adopt a model similar to that of the British Broadcasting Company in the United Kingdom. Radio would be a monopoly funded by a licence fee and organised as a limited company, AB Radiotjänst ("Radio Service Ltd."), owned by the radio industry and the press. The transmitters were owned by the state through Telegrafverket and the press held a monopoly on newscasts through Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå . AB Radiotjänst

736-586: The Kremlin, some of whom have been sanctioned. Government officials including Cyprus president Nikos Christodoulides and European lawmakers began responding to the investigation's findings in less than 24 hours, calling for reforms and launching probes. A survey in 1999 claimed that 33 percent of the journalists working for SVT and SR supported the Left Party , which was about the same proportion as among journalists employed in commercial broadcasting and

782-514: The Riksdag decided that Sveriges Radio would be reorganised once again, this time into three separate companies (with RR and LRAB merged) without a shared parent company. From 1994, they would be owned by three independent foundations. The three foundations later did only a few years later merge into one. In 1990, the television broadcasting day would usually begin at 16.00 and end before midnight. The 1990s saw an increase in broadcasting hours, with

828-467: The Riksdag decided that television broadcasting should continue permanently and on 4 September Radiotjänst initiated official transmissions from the new Nacka transmitter . A television licence for those owning a television set was introduced in October of that year. Regularly scheduled television programming began in 1957. At the same time, Radiotjänst was renamed Sveriges Radio (SR) and its ownership

874-451: The SVT board members. SVT's regulatory framework is governed by Swedish law. SVT and Sveriges Radio were originally a joint company, but since 1979 they and Sveriges Utbildningsradio are sibling companies sharing some joint services. SVT maintained a monopoly in domestic terrestrial broadcasting from its start in 1956 until the privately held TV4 started broadcasting terrestrially in 1992. It

920-474: The United States, 22% from the United Kingdom, 13% from Sweden, 13% from the other Nordic countries , 6% from France , 4% from Germany and 9% from the rest of Europe . SVT often cooperates with the other Nordic public broadcasters via Nordvision . Thus, many Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Finnish programming air on SVT, while DR , NRK , YLE , KVF and RÚV show Swedish programmes. When there

966-401: The addition of reruns in the afternoon, a morning show, and lunchtime news bulletins. SVT also met competition from new commercial broadcasters. TV3 became the first channel to break SVT's monopoly on television in Sweden and in 1992 the newly elected right-wing parliamentary majority allowed TV4 to start terrestrial broadcasting. TV4 soon established nationwide coverage and 1995 passed TV2 in

1012-480: The beginning of 2002 and replaced by SVT Extra . In December 2002, a new channel known as Barnkanalen began showing children's programmes during the day. On 24 February 2003, SVT24 and SVT Extra were renamed 24 , a theme channel for news and sports. Also in 2003, all the SVT channels dropped their encryption in the DTT network. On 25 June 2003, SVT broadcast its first programme with 5.1 sound on DTT. The first 5.1 show

1058-517: The first one to VODcast in Sweden. In the end, all three started in the same week. SVT made its first broadcasts in high-definition television during the 2006 FIFA World Cup on a channel operated in co-operation with TV4 AB . Regular high-definition broadcasting started on the SVT HD channel on 22 October 2006. The first programme was the film Lost in Translation , followed the next day by

1104-433: The following decades. 1966 was when the first colour broadcast was made, with regular colour broadcasts being introduced in 1970. Teletext started in 1978. At the end of the 1970s, SR was reorganised. From 1 July 1979, Sveriges Radio AB became the parent company of four subsidiaries: SVT would provide all television broadcasting, except for educational programming which was the responsibility of UR. The abbreviation SVT

1150-430: The left coalition and 61.0% for the right coalition. Indicators are in percentage points except population totals and income. Swedish Television Sveriges Television AB ("Sweden's Television Stock Company "), shortened to SVT ( Swedish: [ˈsvæ̌rjɛs tɛlɛvɪˈɧuːn ɛsveːˈteː] ), is the Swedish national public television broadcaster , funded by a public service tax on personal income set by

1196-1010: The mornings and throughout the day on SVT1, SVT2, and SVT24. These are styled SVT Nyheter . SVT also broadcasts video news on the Internet through a service called Play Rapport . SVT provides news programmes in various minority languages: Uutiset in Finnish, Nyhetstecken in Swedish Sign Language , and, in co-operation with NRK and Yle , Ođđasat in Northern Sami , as well as special editions of Sverige idag in Meänkieli and Romani . There are also regional news bulletins – on SVT1 at 18.33 on Mondays to Fridays and 18.10 on Sundays, as well as 19.55 daily except Saturdays – on SVT2 at 21.46 on Mondays to Thursdays and 21.25 on Fridays In November 2023, SVT joined with

1242-527: The news channel SVT24 and five regional channels. 2000 saw the reorganisation of the news desks. Aktuellt , Rapport , and SVT24 all came under the control of 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 narrower channel. The main news bulletins at 19.30 and 21.00 switched channels, with Aktuellt now shown on SVT2 and Rapport on SVT1. The regional channels were closed at

1288-422: The other SVT channels. All channels, except SVT1 HD and SVT2 HD, are available in most of Sweden through the digital terrestrial television network and encrypted from Thor and Sirius satellites. Until September 2005, both SVT1 and SVT2 were available nationwide via analogue terrestrial transmitters. Cable networks are required to broadcast four SVT channels for free in either digital or analogue form. SVT World ,

1334-409: The other two public broadcasters, Sveriges Radio and Sveriges Utbildningsradio , it is owned by an independent foundation, Förvaltningsstiftelsen för Sveriges Radio AB, Sveriges Television AB och Sveriges Utbildningsradio AB . The foundation's board consists of 13 politicians, representing the political parties in the Riksdag and appointed by the Swedish government . The foundation in turn appoints

1380-474: The overall ratings to become the nation's most-viewed channel. In 1996, the channels were once again reorganised. The previous organisation and competition between the two channels disappeared as they became part of a single organisation. Kanal 1 and TV2 were renamed SVT1 and SVT2 . The first season of Expedition: Robinson (Survivor) was shown in 1997. The first digital terrestrial television (DTT) broadcasts took place in 1999. SVT started six new channels:

1426-811: The print media, but significantly higher than among the general public, only 15 percent of whom supported the Left Party. Support for the Left Party , the Green Party and the Liberal Party was stronger among journalists on SVT and SR than among the general public, while the Moderate Party , the Social Democrats , and the Christian Democrats had significantly less support among SVT and SR journalists than they did among

1472-845: The programmes that attract the largest audiences. Sveriges Television hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 , 1992 , 2000 , 2013 , 2016 , and 2024 , and also as a part of Sveriges Radio hosted the 1975 contest . SVT produces drama in several genres and forms. Regional content is entirely solely restricted to news which is broadcast on SVT1 and SVT2 . The eighteen news programmes are: ABC , Blekingenytt , Gävledala , Hallandsnytt , Jämtlandsnytt , Jönköpingsnytt , Mittnytt , Nordnytt , Smålandsnytt , Sydnytt , Tvärsnytt , Uppland , Värmlandsnytt , Västerbottensnytt , Västmanlandsnytt , Västnytt and Östnytt . The regional news programmes are broadcast on SVT1 at 18.33–18.45 on Mondays to Fridays (18.10–18.15 on Sundays), with

1518-400: The public at large. The study nevertheless 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 individual journalists. It is also worth mentioning that SJF, the organisation amongst whose members the study was partly conducted, is a trade union , which could have skewed

1564-494: The representativity of the sample (lessening the validity of the survey) as it is possible it excluded some rightwing journalists. The University of Gothenburg also made another study during the Swedish 2006 general election , comparing SVT's news programme Rapport to the country's five largest newspapers. The study concluded that Rapport' s coverage of the election was the most balanced of them all. Entertainment shows on Fridays and Saturdays are, together with popular sports,

1610-477: The same day as the start of operations of TV2, making it one of the largest television studios in Europe at that time. 1970 saw the start of the first regional programme, Sydnytt from Malmö . More regional news programmes were launched in 1972 and the entire country was covered by regional news programmes by 1987 when ABC from Stockholm began. When TV2 started the news programmes were reorganised. Aktuellt

1656-707: The semi-legendary Swedish Yngling dynasty at Uppsala. Moreover, the mention of a great battle is suggestive of the equally semi-legendary Swedish-Geatish wars that are mentioned in Beowulf . The words runaʀ ræginkundu meaning "runes of divine origin" are also in the runic text on the Noleby Runestone and would appear in stanza 79 of the Hávamál of the Poetic Edda several centuries later. The runestone has imagery on four of its sides that apparently

1702-531: The ship suggests a later dating than the 8th century. The runestone is famous for its depictions and its tantalizing and mysterious references to a great battle, the names Eric and Alrik , the father who resided in Uppsala and the text descending from the gods . The stone provides an early attestation of the place name Uppsala , and the two personal names Eric ("complete ruler") and Alrik ("everyone's ruler") are both royal names, known to have been worn by

1748-402: The subtitles to viewers (though 'talking subtitles' are not strictly in sync with the original audio as dubbing is). These same practices are also done for segments of local programmes that contain foreign language dialogue. 33% of the national first-time broadcasts consisted of foreign content in 2005. Of all acquired programming (including Swedish programming not produced by SVT) 27% came from

1794-623: Was Allsång på Skansen . In November 2004, SVT added two audio streams that read out the translation subtitles on SVT1 and SVT2. The knowledge-oriented channel Kunskapskanalen started broadcasting in September 2004. The switch-off of analogue transmitters started in 2005 in Gotland. By 2007 all analogue transmissions from SVT had ceased. SVT started VODcasting several programmes in February 2006. Altogether three broadcasters competed to be

1840-436: Was changed. The state and the press would have equal 40% shares, while the company itself 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. During the 1960s the establishment of a second TV channel was frequently discussed. These discussions resulted in the launch of TV2 on 5 December 1969. The original channel became TV1 and it

1886-663: Was chosen over the arguably more logical "STV" as that abbreviation was already occupied by Scottish Television in the EBU . The Swedish EBU membership is currently jointly held by SVT, SR and UR . The two channels were reorganised in 1987. TV1 was renamed Kanal 1 and contained almost all programmes produced in Stockholm, while TV2 consisted of the ten regional districts and the Rapport news desk. Broadcasting in Nicam Stereo

1932-419: Was intended that the two channels would broadcast in "stimulating competition" within the same company. The first stage of the main headquarters building and TV studios for Sveriges Television called TV-huset ( sv ) , was inaugurated on Oxenstiernsgatan in the Östermalm district in Stockholm on 30 October 1967. The completion of the second stage of TV-huset and its official opening was on 5 December 1969,

Following its expansion into Asia and Africa , it was rebranded as SVT World in 2005. In 1992,

2024-700: Was one of 23 founding broadcasting organizations of the European Broadcasting Union in 1950. 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. It was decided to start test transmissions of television in June 1954. The first transmissions were made on 29 October 1954 from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm . In 1956

2070-465: Was replaced by TV-nytt , which was responsible for the main 19.30 bulletin on TV1 as well as news updates on both channels. In addition, the two channels would get one "commentary bulletin" each. TV2's was entitled Rapport and TV1's was Nu . In 1972, the news was reorganized once again. Rapport was moved to the 19.30 slot on TV2 while Aktuellt was revived, to broadcast at 18.00 and 21.00 on TV1. These timeslots would mostly stay unchanged for

2116-516: Was the host broadcaster for the 1975 , 1985 , 1992 , 2000 , 2013 , 2016 and 2024 Eurovision Song Contests . In 2018, the Riksdag voted to replace the traditional TV licensing system with a new public service fee based on personal income tax. 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). The two news programmes had completely separate organisations, meaning
