Yle Vega
Yle Vega (prior to 1 September 2016 – Yle Radio Vega) is a Finnish radio channel broadcasting in the Swedish language. It is operated by Finland's national public service broadcaster Yle, and broadcast news, current affairs, culture and music targeting mature audiences, complements Yle's other Swedish-speaking service, Yle X3M which targets youth-audiences. It was launched in 1997, replacing Yle's previous full-network service for Swedish-speakers, Riksradion which was founded in 1961. , Yle Vega had a technical reach of 83 % of Finns older than 9 years old. The daily reach of it and Yle X3M together was 3 % of the population over age 9 in 2010, making them together the 10th largest radio "channel" in Finland at the time. The music played by the station emphasizes Finnish-Swedish music, and thus the station features little music with either Finnish lyrics or a focus on the Finnish culture. Much of the playlist is, however, taken by larger Swedish acts rather than smaller Finnish-Swedish artists.
