TV-nytt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TV-nytt is a daily television news program on the Finland-Swedish TV channel FST5.

TV-nytt first aired on April 5, 1965 and has since provided daily news for the Swedish speaking population in Finland. In the evening TV-nytt has three regular broadcasts, plus one 30 second summary half an hour before the 18:15 news which is their main broadcast.

Between 1997-2005, Swedish-language news called 'Morgonnytt' was broadcast during the otherwise Finnish-language YLE breakfast tv programme Aamu-TV (morning-tv). This was discontinued as part of YLE's cost cutting exercise, despite the fact that Morgonnytt often received more viewers than the evening TV-nytt broadcasts. This move has meet with criticism from some parts of the Finland-Swedish community.
