List of television stations in Sweden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of television channels that broadcast in Sweden.

Channels holding a broadcasting license for the terrestrial network are marked "(DTT)."

Public non-commercial networks

[edit]

The public television channels are mostly funded by a license fee and broadcast free-to-air.

SVT has 21 local news districts.

Swedish private commercial networks

[edit]

These are privately owned television channels that are solely, or almost solely, directed at Sweden. Many such channels don't broadcast from Sweden, but nevertheless target a Swedish audience.

TV4 is the only commercial channel ever to have broadcast nationally in the Swedish analogue terrestrial network, but the arrival of digital terrestrial television saw the TV4 monopoly on commercial television broken.
