About
YLE TV1 History, Coverage, Features
YLE TV1 is a Finnish television channel owned and operated by Finnish public broadcaster YLE. It was the first television channel to see the light in Finland, with test transmissions beginning on August 13, 1957. The channel would eventually start its regular broadcasts on January 1, 1958. The channel was previously known as Suomen Televisio from its launch in 1958 to 1965, when it was rebranded to TV-ohjelma 1. That name would last until 1972, when it was relabeled as YLE TV1.
Over the years, YLE TV1 has been known as a general entertainment channel, with news broadcasts, entertainment shows, reality shows, musical broadcasts, documentaries, sports broadcasts, and more being included in its programming.
Speaking about sports, YLE TV1 has included live broadcasts for disciplines such as football, golf, ice hockey, badminton, basketball, Olympic sports, futsal, handball, and more. Domestic competitions have frequently been available on this platform, but international tournaments have also been streamed on this service. When it comes to football, games for the Finnish National Teams have been the core of YLE TV2’s coverage.
YLE TV1 was launched as a Standard Definition channel, but a High-Definition feed was developed to mirror the content aired by the SD channel. That feed would see the light on January 28, 2014, giving users a chance to choose the feed that suits their needs, as both feeds may still be available in most regions of the country.
