Yle Nyheter - Season 1

TV-nytt is the name of the daily television news programmes on the Swedish-speaking Finnish TV channel Yle Fem, at the Finnish Broadcasting Company. The programme is also broadcast on TV Finland. TV-nytt first aired on 5 April 1965 and has since provided daily news for the Swedish-speaking population in Finland. In the evening TV-nytt has four regular broadcasts: at 16.55, 17.55, 19.30 and the last edition is in the late evening. The main bulletin is at 19.30 and is 25 minutes long. The late edition was shortened from 10 minutes to 90 seconds on 1 September 2011, following a co-operation between FST5 and the Swedish public broadcaster SVT. Prior to the end of analogue broadcasting in Finland on 31 August 2007, TV-nytt's 18.15 edition was the main bulletin and was simulcast on YLE TV1. Between 1997 and 2005, Swedish-language news called Morgonnytt was broadcast during the otherwise Finnish-language YLE breakfast TV programme Aamu-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 met with criticism from some parts of the Finland-Swedish community. From early 2010, YLE has again provided short news bulletins from TV-nytt during the morning hours during FST5's breakfast programme Min Morgon. The breakfast programme is funded by Svenska kulturfonden.
