SVT2
SVT2 (SVT Två; commonly referred to as Tvåan), is one of the two main television channels broadcast by Sveriges Television in Sweden. Launched in 1969 by Sveriges Radio, the channel was until the 1990s the most watched in Sweden for many years, but now serves as SVT's specialist television network, carrying more highbrow and minority programming compared to the more mainstream SVT1. History Debate persisted throughout the 1960s over a second Swedish television channel, following the opening of ''Radiotjänst TV'' (later ''Sveriges Radio TV'') in 1956. Some wanted the new channel to be private and funded by advertising, but it was decided that the public service broadcaster, Sveriges Radio, would take responsibility. Sweden was the second Nordic country to launch a second TV channel, after Finland who did it in March 1965. ''TV2'' began broadcasting on Friday 5 December 1969 - an occasion known widely as the "channel split" (''kanalklyvningen''). While TV1 was broadcast on V ...

SVT1
SVT1 (SVT Ett; commonly referred to as Ettan) is the primary television station of the Swedish public service broadcaster Sveriges Television in Sweden. History Television in Sweden officially launched on 4 September 1956 with the launch of ''Radiotjänst TV'', which was renamed ''Sveriges Radio TV'' a year later. The arrival of a second television network, TV2, led to the first channel relaunching as ''TV1'' in 1969, while remaining under the Sveriges Radio banner. Full-time colour broadcasting started in 1970 before both networks were placed under the management of Sveriges Television (SVT) on 1 July 1979. To encourage competition between the two channels, ''TV1'' relaunched as ''Kanal 1'' on 31 August 1987 with the entirety of its homegrown programming produced in Stockholm, including the national news and current affairs programme '' Aktuellt'' (''Current''). Increased competition from commercial channels, including TV4, led to another relaunch as SVT1 in 1996, incorporat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Aktuellt'' (literally "current; topical" or "actual") is a Swedish nightly news programme produced by Sveriges Television (SVT) and broadcast on its second channel, SVT2 in Sweden. It was first broadcast on 2 September 1958.

The 6pm bulletin was moved to SVT2 in 1997, followed on 15 January 2001 by the 9pm edition. The year before, editorial responsibility for ''Aktuellt'', ''Rapport'' (SVT1's news programme), and SVT's news channel, SVT24, was unified; nevertheless, the name "Aktuellt" continues to be used to designate SVT2's news programmes. A relaunch of ''Aktuellt'' in November 2007 saw ''Rapport'' begin a 6pm bulletin on SVT1 while the sole 9pm ''Aktuellt'' programme relaunched as an in-depth news and current affairs programme, covering two of three main items in detail.

However, Blekinge is the only province, besides Gotland, which covers exactly the same area as the administrative county, which is Blekinge County.

Symbolically the three crowns from the Coat of arms of Sweden had been placed on the trunk of the tree to mark the change in status of ...
