Finlands Svenska Radio (FSR) is the Swedish-language radio department of Finland's national broadcaster Rundradion (generally known as YLE, from its Finnish name Yleisradio). YLE (Yleisradio in Finnish, Rundradion in Swedish), Finlands National Broadcasting Company, was founded in 1926. ...
The department is responsible for the Swedish-language radio channels of YLE; Radio Vega and Radio Extrem. Both these channels are available in areas of Finland where the Swedish-speaking minority is found (mainly the coastal areas). In some parts of the country without a strong Swedish-speaking presence, Radio Vega can be received.
Some programmes of FSR's channels are also simulcast on YLE's international radio channel, Radio Finland.
