ohjelmakartoilla

Ohjelmakartoilla is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “on the program maps/charts” and refers to the visualization of programming schedules on graphical charts. The term is formed from ohjelma (program) and kartta (map) with the inessive suffix -illa, which in Finnish can indicate location or context. In practice, ohjelmakartoilla denotes the use or presence of programs on scheduling grids used by broadcasters, media planners, and audience guides.

Uses and contexts: In broadcasting and media planning, ohjelmakartat (the program charts) present a time-based grid showing which programs air when and on which channel. The expression ohjelmakartoilla is often used to describe where a program appears within such a grid, for example in TV guides, program catalogs, or online electronic program guides (EPGs). The concept encompasses both traditional printed grids and digital interfaces that map programs across time slots or channels.

Origins and usage notes: The term is a descriptive compound in Finnish; it is not a technical standard with a fixed definition, but it is widely understood in media contexts to refer to the mapping of programs onto a schedule grid. It may appear in journalism, broadcasting industry materials, or academic discussions of program scheduling.
