Television In Sweden
Television began in Sweden in 1954 with test transmissions, prior to the opening of the first station, ''Sveriges Radio, Radiotjänst'', two years later. A second channel was launched in 1969. Commercial television arrived in the 1980s through cable television and in 1992, the country's first terrestrial commercial channel was launched. Typically, non-Swedish content maintains the original language soundtrack while subtitled into Swedish. This includes foreign interviews embedded into news and magazine programmes as well as SVT's Finnish news bulletin (''Uutiset'').
