Decades of history
Yle News was established in 1999, the first year Finland held the rotating EU Presidency. The time was ripe for a news service that would deliver comprehensive English-language coverage about Finland for television, radio and online audiences.
The first Yle News television bulletin aired on TV Channel 1 on June 7, 1999, and the final television broadcast went out in 2017. Before Yle News, Radio Finland produced multilingual radio programming, including news in English. Finland's first English-language radio news aired during World War II.
