Abstrakti
Finnish Yleisradio (Yle) has been one of the most innovative public service
broadcasters in Europe. The new tax-based funding system and broad remit have
allowed the company to shift its focus from broadcast television and radio to
online services without jeopardising its relevance or resources. Now Yle has set
preconditions for the future availability of its online television in case digital
terrestrial television (DTT) would be switched off and all ultra high frequencies
reallocated. This is not because Yle would want to focus only on growing video
audiences online, but because the Finnish spectrum policy favouring mobile
industries could endanger Yle’s capability to fulfil its public service remit. We argue
that Yle’s conditions for abandoning television broadcasting on DTT are so tight
they might never be met by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. In this
chapter, we also examine what consequences public service without broadcasting
could have.
