Yle: Difference between revisions

'''Background:''' Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) is the name of the state-owned Finnish radio and television agency, that is founded in Helsinki on May 29, 1926. Originally named as "O.Y. Suomen Yleisradio – A.B. Finlands Rundradio", the company started as a radio broadcaster, but during 1957, Yleisradio did the test broadcasting on television. Suomen Televisio was launched with regular broadcasting beginning in next year on January 1, 1958. The first television newscast from Yleisradio aired in September 1, 1959. Following the acquisition of Tesvisio and Tamvisio in 1964, Yleisradio renamed its Suomen Televisio as TV-ohjelma 1 and its new second channel TV-ohjelma 2. Both of these channels were then later renamed simply TV1 and TV2 in 1971, and again as Yle TV1 and Yle TV2 since 2000. Both channels had separate programming blocks over the years (MTV and FST) and additional channels such as Yle Teema & Fem and TV Finland were created alongside two channels. For three decades, Yleisradio owned fully the television monopoly in Finland until the Finnish TV channel reforming happened in 1993 with MTV3 becoming its own commercial television station. In 1994, the company was renamed as Yleisradio Oy or simply Yle, while in 2012, the company's brand was revamped. Prior January 1992, Yle didn't use their company logo in any of their television channels.
