Yle TV1 (Finnish : Yle TV Yksi, Swedish : Yle TV Ett) is a Finnish television channel owned and operated by Finnish public broadcaster Yle. It is the second-oldest television channel in Finland, after TES-TV, and is the oldest currently existing television channel in the country. More than 70% of the channel's programs are documentaries, news, or educational programmes. It is commonly referred to as Ykkönen, deriving from Yle's ownership of channels Spots 1 and 2 by default in Finland, with the other channel spot being Yle TV2.

History

The channel started test transmissions on 13 August 1957 and began regular broadcasts on 1 January 1958 as Suomen Televisio, then the second television channel to operate in Finland. When Yleisradio took over the Tampere-based [1] Tamvisio in 1964, Suomen Televisio was renamed TV-ohjelma 1, and Tamvisio became TV-ohjelma 2, and when they started broadcasting in colour in the 1970s, they were rebranded again, as TV1 and TV2.

In January 1970, it was made available in Åland. [2]
