History

Yleisradio was founded in Helsinki on May 29, 1926. The first radio programme was transmitted on 9 September the same year. This day is considered to be the birthday of regular Finnish broadcasting activities, though it was not before 1928 that YLE's broadcasting was available in the entire country. After this the broadcasting network was developed and at the beginning of the 1930's 100.000 households were able to listen YLE's programming.

In 1957, YLE made its first television broadcast tests, and the following year regular TV programming was started under the name Suomen Televisio (Finnish Television). The popularity of television in the country grew rapidly and in 1964, YLE obtained TES-TV and Tamvisio, which were merged to YLE TV2. From 1969, all of YLE's programming was made entirely in colour. During the past few years, YLE has founded a number of new radio and television channels and in 2007, there was a digital television switchover. Digital television (DTV) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analog signals used by analog (traditional) TV.

Controversy

In radio, YLE was a legal monopoly until 1985, when local radio stations were permitted, and maintained a national monopoly until 1999, when national radio networks were allowed. This article is about the year. ... This article is about the year. ...

In the past, YLE has been seen in Finland as a "red" or leftist medium. This was true especially in 1965–1969, during the term of Director-General Eino S. Repo, who got the position with the backing of the Agrarian League and President Kekkonen (who was a member of the Agrarian Party), as he was Kekkonen's personal friend. He was accused of favouring student radicalism and young reporters with socially critical programs that demanded reforms, and YLE was given the nickname "Reporadio". Leftism can refer to: Left-wing politics An album by Leftfield ... Also: 1969 (Stargate SG-1) episode. ... Eino Sakari Repo (b. ... The Centre Party (in Finnish: Suomen Keskusta, ) is a centrist political party in Finland. ... Urho Kekkonen Urho Kaleva Kekkonen (September 3, 1900 - August 31, 1986) was a Finnish politician who served as Prime Minister of Finland from 1950 to 1956, and as the most long-standing president of Finland from 1956 to 1981. ...

Repo resigned in 1969, but according to YLE^[1], the "political mandate" remained, as Erkki Raatikainen was named director directly from the Social Democratic Party office. The Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) is one of the most influential political parties in Finland, along with the Centre Party and the Coalition Party. ...

Currently, YLE maintains that it is independent and impartial, and does not represent any current government's opinion, even if it is owned by the state.
