Sveriges Television inSweden .History
The channel began broadcasting in 1956 and was known as "Radiotjänst TV", A year later, it was renamed "Sveriges Radio TV". In 1969, the second television station TV2 was launched and the existing channel became "TV1". Both channels became a part of Sveriges Television (SVT) in the late 1970s.
When SVT reorganised the two stations in 1987, "TV1" would only broadcast programmes produced in Stockholm. In 1996, the channels were reorganised again and renamed "SVT1" and "SVT2". Another reorganisation took place in 2001 with the primary target of making SVT1 the most popular television channel in Sweden.
SVT's main entertainment shows, the most popular being
Melodifestivalen ,Så ska det låta andPå spåret are broadcast on this channel. Since 2006, SVT1 has fallen behind to commercial rival,TV4 (Sweden) in terms of audience share (22.2% for TV4 as opposed to SVT1's 19%).Programming
