Radiokanavilla

Radiokanavilla is a Finnish locative phrase used in media and everyday language to mean “on radio channels.” It is formed from radiokanava, meaning radio channel, and the adessive plural suffix -lla, yielding radiokanavilla, literally “on the radio channels.” The singular form radiokanavalla states “on the radio channel,” while radiokanavilla emphasizes coverage across multiple channels.

In usage, radiokanavilla commonly appears in journalism, broadcasting schedules, and press materials to indicate where a program, news item, or advertisement is broadcast or available. It can describe distribution across several outlets or a segment of the radio ecosystem. For example, a news item might be described as broadcast radiokanavilla, or a program could be said to air radiokanavilla klo 20. In many contexts, the phrase functions as a prepositional complement rather than as a standalone noun.

Grammatically, radiokanavilla is the inessive-adessive form for plural references to radio channels and contrasts with radiokanavalla, the singular equivalent for a single channel. Its use tends to appear in formal or semi-formal Finnish writing related to media, marketing, and public communications.
