List of television channels in Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of television channels broadcasting to Finnish- and Swedish-language audiences in Finland. Typically, foreign-language content is subtitled, retaining the original language soundtrack. Foreign programming intended for children is, however, usually dubbed into one of the national languages. Regardless of the intended audience, many shows receive a Finnish and/or Swedish title which is used in programme schedules.
