Sveriges Radio :SR P1 ,SR P2 ,SR P3 andSR P4 . Two versions of P4 are provided:SR Malmöhus andSR Kristianstad . The only remaining short wave radio transmissions also originate from outside Hörby, but are broadcast from theHörby short wave transmitter .The Hörby transmitter is among the last in Sweden to terminate its analogue signals. The analogue television channels carried by the transmitter were
