Description
This is Sveriges Radio's Sweden-Finnish service. The broadcaster no longer calls it Sisuradio: its own current channel record names the channel "Sveriges Radio Finska" while still carrying the identifier "sisu.sr.se" in its own metadata, which is what binds this row to that channel. Its own tagline is bilingual, "Uutisia, viihdettä, syvennystä. Nyheter, underhållning och fördjupning som håller finskan levande i den svenska vardagen", news, entertainment and depth that keep Finnish alive in Swedish everyday life. The broadcaster files it under the channel type "Minoritet och språk", minority and language.

Artists
None published. The broadcaster's playlist service returns song data for its music channels and not for this one, and the channel's music strand is described only as "Tauotonta musiikkia, sekä uutuuksia että klassikoita", non-stop music, both new releases and classics.

Contact route
Per-programme email addresses on the broadcaster's own sverigesradio.se domain, published by the broadcaster itself, including a general Finnish-service address used by Iltapäivä, Finska Dokumentti, Finska Specialprogram, Metalli and Asfaltblomman, a dedicated news address, a dedicated morning-programme address, an address for the music editors, a children's-programme address, and named-journalist addresses for two strands, plus the corporation's central listener-service address. No studio telephone number is published for this channel in the records I read.

Era
Not applicable in the way it would be for a music station. Its own description of the music strand covers both new releases and classics without dating them, and the channel's point is language rather than period, although it does run one strand explicitly about Sweden-Finnish voices since 1969.

Music
Speech and music in Finnish. Current-affairs magazines, news, documentary and a continuous music strand, with minority-language and children's programming.

Language
Finnish is the channel's own language, and its programme titles, descriptions and news service are Finnish. It also carries Meänkieli: two programmes in its own grid, Meänraatio and Meän Kläpit, are described in Meänkieli and Swedish, "Rajatonta ja ihmisläheistä raatiota meänkielelä. / Gränslös och vardagsnära radio på meänkieli" and "Barnprogram på meänkieli / Ohjelmaa kläpile meänkielelä". Swedish is present too, in the relayed corporation services and in the bilingual titling of its own news bulletin, "Uutiset/Nyheter från Sveriges Radio Finska".

Kind
Live and presenter-led in its Finnish daytime blocks, with a continuous music strand filling the gaps, and a relay of the corporation's Swedish-language output overnight and late evening: Vaken med P3 & P4 from just after midnight to 06:00, Ekot senaste nytt hourly, Ekot 22:00, Radiosporten and Karlavagnen late. It also carries acquired Finnish programming from YLE in Finland.

Worth knowing
Meänraatio and Meän Kläpit appear in this channel's broadcast grid but not in the broadcaster's programme list for this channel, so the Meänkieli service is carried on this frequency without being filed as one of its own programmes. That is the cleanest evidence that this is a shared minority-language carrier rather than a single-language channel.

Where
Sweden, national. Carried on DAB and streamed by the broadcaster itself; no single frequency belongs to the channel.

On air
Its own Finnish programmes carry no presenter credit in the grid, but one presenter is named in passing in the broadcaster's own programme records: Soili Huokuna, who has her own strand "Soilin seurassa" and is the named contact for "Suomalaisia sotaveteraaneja Ruotsissa". The only other presenters the grid names on this channel, Peter Sundberg and Lisa Friberg on Vaken and Hanna Sihlman on Karlavagnen, belong to the relayed Swedish-language programmes and not to this service.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| country code |
SE
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
Filed under Finland because it broadcasts in Finnish. It is Sveriges Radio's Finnish-language channel, made in Sweden for the Sweden-Finnish minority, and its homepage is sverigesradio.se, the Swedish public broadcaster's own domain. Country means where a station broadcasts from, and this one broadcasts from Sweden. The same class of error as filing a Kiel oldies channel under Afghanistan or a Los Angeles church station under Antigua: the country was taken from what the station sounds like rather than from where it is. |
| homepage url | https://sverigesradio.se/ → https://www.sverigesradio.se/finska | The stored value was the broadcaster's portal root rather than this channel's page. Sveriges Radio's own channel record at https://api.sr.se/api/v2/channels/226?format=json gives siteurl "https://www.sverigesradio.se/finska" for the channel it files under channeltype "Minoritet och språk" with the bilingual Finnish and Swedish tagline "Uutisia, viihdettä, syvennystä. Nyheter, underhållning och fördjupning som håller finskan levande i den svenska vardagen". The same record proves this channel is the row's Sisuradio: its xmltvid is "sisu.sr.se", the identifier the broadcaster still carries from the channel's former name, while the current name field reads "Sveriges Radio Finska". Same registrable domain as the stored value. The row's title is also out of date for the same reason and should be renamed to "Sveriges Radio Finska" by hand; I have not filed that as a correction because the title is this batch's match key and a rename applied before the findings load would drop the station's whole findings block. |
| title | Sveriges Radio - SR Sisuradio → Sveriges Radio Finska | Taken from Sveriges Radio's own channel register at api.sr.se/api/v2/channels, read directly rather than from the rendered site, which returns 403 to us from an Akamai edge. The broadcaster has retired the Sisuradio name: the register entry that still carries xmltvid 'sisu.sr.se', which is what binds this row, is now named 'Sveriges Radio Finska', with the Finnish and Swedish tagline 'Uutisia, viihdettae, syvennystae. Nyheter, underhallning och fordjupning'. The researcher found this and deliberately did not file it, because a title is the match key and a rename can orphan a station's whole findings block; it is filed here after that block had loaded. |

What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| a contact page address | as with P3, the rendered site was not readable, so I have named the routes rather than cite a page I did not open.
source |
| everything belonging to P3 | P3's presenters, playlist and programmes are in the separate block above and none of them appear here. The only overlap is Vaken med P3 & P4, which sits in both channels' grids because the corporation carries it on both, and I have labelled it here as a relay rather than as this channel's own programme.
source |
| a title correction renaming this row to "Sveriges Radio Finska" | that is the channel's current name in the broadcaster's own record and the stored "SR Sisuradio" is a retired brand, so the row is genuinely out of date, but the title is this batch's match key and corrections apply before findings load. Filing it would have renamed the row out from under my own STATION line and silently dropped this whole block. The rename should be made by hand, keyed on the broadcaster's own channel record for id 226, which still carries the identifier sisu.sr.se and so proves the two names are the same channel.
source |
| a claim that the channel's daytime is wholly Finnish | its bilingual news title and its Meänkieli strands show otherwise, and the grid mixes in Swedish-language corporation services.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
