Television in Finland began in the late 1950s, with the first broadcasts starting in 1955. The country has a mix of public and private channels, with Yleisradio (Yle) being the national public broadcasting company. Yle operates several channels and provides a wide range of programming, including news, entertainment, and educational content. The Finnish television landscape has evolved with the advent of digital broadcasting and streaming services. Most households have access to digital television, and many people now watch content online through platforms like Netflix and Viaplay. This shift has changed viewing habits, making on-demand content increasingly popular.
