Yle Vega (prior to 1 September 2016 – Yle Radio Vega) is a Finnish radio channel broadcasting in the Swedish language.[1] It is operated by Finland's national public service broadcaster Yle, and broadcast news, current affairs, culture and music targeting mature audiences, complements Yle's other Swedish-speaking service, Yle X3M, which targets youth-audiences.[2][3] It was launched in 1997, replacing Yle's previous full-network service for Swedish-speakers, Template:Langr, which was founded in 1961.[2]
As of 2012[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., Yle Vega had a technical reach of 83% of Finns older than 9 years old.[4] The daily reach of it and Yle X3M together was 3% of the population over age 9 in 2010, making them together the 10th largest radio "channel" in Finland at the time.[5]
The music played by the station emphasizes Finnish-Swedish music, and thus the station features little music with either Finnish lyrics or a focus on the Finnish culture. Much of the playlist is, however, taken by larger Swedish acts rather than smaller Finnish-Swedish artists.[6]
Regional stations
Yle Vega also broadcasts regional content for five regions.[2] These regions are:
- Vega Huvudstadsregionen: Finnish Capital Region, based in Helsinki (Helsingfors) and also available in other parts of Finland
- Vega Västnyland: Western Uusimaa (Nyland), based in Raseborg (Raasepori)
- Vega Östnyland: Eastern Uusimaa, based in Porvoo (Borgå)
- Vega Österbotten: Ostrobothnia, based in Vaasa (Vasa)
- Vega Åboland: Southwest Finland and Åland, based in Turku (Åbo) - Radio Vega's remit does not include coverage of events on Åland, since broadcasting there is a reserved matter for the autonomous provincial government in Mariehamn. Åland has its own public service radio and television service, Ålands Radio och TV.
