history
KG Eliasson, who was one of the founders of the Gothenburg Radio Club in 1924, is considered a pioneer of Swedish radio. SR was founded in 1925 under the name Radiotjänst ("Radiodienst") as part of the nationalization of radio in Sweden. Initially, only a few hours of evening programs were broadcast on one channel. From 1926 the program was expanded, and in 1933 programs were produced for around eight hours a day.
1937 started Dagens Eko ("Echo of the day") as a commentary news program . Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå (TT) produced short message telegrams .
During the Second World War , the radio service played an important role in war reporting .
The station portfolio was expanded for the first time in 1955 with the establishment of the second radio channel P2 . In 1956 television programs were broadcast. In 1957 the company was renamed Sveriges Radio .
The early 1960s threatened Piratensender the monopoly of Sveriges Radio. In response to this, Melodiradion ("Das Melodieradio") was put into operation, offering the listeners light entertainment music. In 1962 programs were first broadcast on the third channel P3 . P3 went into regular operation in 1964.
In 1966 the existing canals were profiled . P1 became a serious information channel, P2 broadcast regional programs, school radio and serious music programs from now on, while P3 offered light musical entertainment.
From 1977 P3 broadcast local radio programs from 24 stations.
At the end of the 1970s , Sveriges Radio was facing the greatest reorganization in its history. The company was split into four subsidiaries: Sveriges Riksradio (RR), Sveriges Local Radio (LRAB), Sveriges Utbildningsradio (UR) and Sveriges Television (SVT).
After the murder of Olof Palme in 1986, all-day news broadcasts were introduced. In 1987 the fourth radio channel, P4, went on air, directed by LRAB.
In 1993 there was another reorganization. RR and LRAB were merged to form Sveriges Radio, while the previous parent company was dissolved. It was replaced in 1994 by a foundation, which has belonged to SR, UR and SVT ever since. As part of the changes in 1993, P3 became a youth radio and P4 turned to the older audience.
On December 31, 1995, TT last broadcast news on Sveriges Radio channels. Today all national news programs and the name Ekot ("The Echo") run and are produced by the broadcasting corporation's newsroom of the same name.
In September 1995 programs were broadcast using the DAB method for the first time - the expansion was canceled in 2006 and further technical development is currently open. In June 1996, Real Audio broadcasts began to be broadcast over the Internet . The Windows Media format was later also supported.
