yleisradio

Yleisradio Oy, commonly known as Yle, is Finland's national public-service broadcaster. It provides radio, television, and online content aimed at informing, educating, and entertaining the Finnish public. The organization operates under the Yle brand and serves a wide audience across Finland and Finnish-speaking communities.

Founded in 1926 as a state-run radio broadcaster, Yle expanded into television and digital media over the decades. It is owned by the Finnish state and overseen by Parliament, with governance that includes a board appointed by Parliament and executive management. Since 2013, Yle has been funded by a public broadcasting tax collected by the Finnish Tax Administration, replacing the former radio and TV license system.

Yle's offerings span national radio and television channels, online services, and a video-on-demand platform called Areena. Its programming includes news, current affairs, documentary and factual content, drama, culture, and children’s programming. Content is produced in Finnish and Swedish, with online services and regional production supporting diverse audiences.

As Finland's public-service broadcaster, Yle aims to uphold impartial journalism, promote Finnish language and culture, and support media literacy. It collaborates with international public broadcasters and participates in initiatives to advance public-service media standards.
