Yle Sámi Radio
Yle Sámi Radio () is a regional unit of the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) that produces radio news for the Sámi people. Yle's first regular Sámi radio broadcasts began in Oulu in autumn 1947, and it has had its own dedicated radio channel since 1991, after having been previously transmitted as block programming on the national first, second and third radio channels. Sámi Radio has journalists in Inari, Utsjoki and Karesuvanto. Yle Sámi Radio is broadcast in the northernmost areas of Finnish Lapland. FM coverage anywhere further south is almost non-existent; as although Yle's official FM frequency guide lists exact places for the antennas instead of municipalities, their guide appears to skip 5 of the 6 most populated places in Lapland (and all places in all other Finnish counties), with only Rovaniemi having known coverage south of Ylläs. Broadcasting in Sami languages are aired 5 days a week on weekdays, at 07:00-11:00 and 14:00-18:30 on Mondays through Wedne ...

Finnish Lapland
Lapland is the largest and northernmost Regions of Finland, region of Finland. The 21 municipalities in the region cooperate in a Regional Council. Lapland borders the Finnish region of North Ostrobothnia in the south. It also borders the Gulf of Bothnia, Norrbotten County in Sweden, Finnmark, Finnmark County and Troms, Troms County in Norway, and Murmansk Oblast and the Republic of Karelia in Russia. The topography of Lapland varies from vast mires and forests in the south to fells in the north. The Arctic Circle crosses Lapland, so polar phenomena such as the midnight sun and polar night can be viewed in this region. Lapland's cold and wintry climate, coupled with its relative abundance of conifer trees such as pines and spruces, means that it has become associated with Christmas in some countries, most notably the United Kingdom, and holidays to Lapland are common towards the end of the year. However, the Lapland region has developed its infrastructure for year-round touris ...

Karesuvanto
Karesuvanto or Kaaresuvanto (, ) is a village in Enontekiö municipality, located in Finnish Lapland, the largest and northernmost region in Finland. It is located on the Muonio River, which follows Finland's western border with Sweden. The village of Karesuando (part of Kiruna municipality) is located on the Swedish side of the river. According to Finnish tradition the two are considered parts of the same locality (with a population of about 470), although officially a national border bisects them. The sides are linked by a road bridge built in 1980. The area is traditionally Finnish and Sami speaking. After the Finnish War in 1809, the border was re-drawn for political reasons, not because of any cultural or linguistic reasons existing at that time. Later a cultural and language difference grew because of school and church influences. The village got its first buildings in 1670, when Måns Mårtensson Karesuando, called "Hyvä Maunu Martinpoika" in Finnish and "Good Maunu, S ...
