Swedish public broadcaster SVT has signed a six-year deal with transmission services provider Teracom to distribute its existing channels plus two additional services in HD on the country’s terrestrial network.
The deal will see Teracom continue to transmit SVT’s channels SVT1 and SVT2 on its network, along with two additional services, Barnkanalen/SVT24 and Kunskapskanalen (Knowledge Channel), which will air from next year.
Per Björkman, head of distribution at SVT said free-to-air terrestrial broadcasting remained a central platform for SVT and that the broadcaster was pleased that the entire Swedish population would now have access to all its channels in HD.
