Sveriges Radio Finska

About Sveriges Radio Finska

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.

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".

Where

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

Music

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

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.

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.

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.

Programmes

From the channel's own published grid for Monday 28 September 2026, Stockholm time: Aamu på finska 06:00 to 09:05, Musiikkia 09:05 to 13:00, Iltapäivä på finska 13:00 to 17:10, Meänraatio 17:10 to 17:35, Musiikkia 17:35, Meän Kläpit 17:50 to 18:05, Musiikkia 18:05 to 19:03, then a Finnish documentary series acquired from YLE at 19:03, Musiikkia from 20:03, with Uutiset/Nyheter från Sveriges Radio Finska on the half hour through the day. Other programmes the broadcaster lists as this channel's own: Lastenohjelma Taikalipas, Kesäpuhujat på finska, Suomalaisia sotaveteraaneja Ruotsissa på finska, Soilin seurassa på finska, Levyseppä på finska, Finska Dokumentti, Finska Specialprogram, Ruotsinsuomalaisia ääniä vuodesta 1969, Disco på finska, Metalli, Snakkis, Asfaltblomman and Finnjävlarpodden. (as at 2026)

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. (as at 2026)

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.
