About Swedish radio

Sweden only allowed commercial radio in 1993; before that, Sveriges Radio had the airwaves to itself, which is why its channels still set the tone. Stockholm radio and Nordic radio go further.

A little history

Swedish public radio began on 1 January 1925 as AB Radiotjänst, and took the name Sveriges Radio in 1957. Its P3 channel, launched in 1964, was the state's answer to the pop pirates broadcasting from ships in the Baltic.
