SVT is revamping its cultural coverage. The company's own broadcasts will now disappear and the culture editorial team will lose its previous role. The announcement comes in the middle of the company's major savings package.
The morning cultural news broadcasts will be removed and the evening program will be discontinued in its current form. Instead, cultural features will become part of regular news broadcasts, reports Today's Media.
– Whoever presents the news in the morning takes care of the culture and also the sport, says Jane Andersson on SVT's journalist club
This means that culture will no longer have its own programs, but will become a smaller part of the news.
Moved to SVT Play
The evening broadcast is also being redesigned. The plan is for a new program to be shown mainly on SVT Play, and sometimes on TV. This means that what previously had a fixed place in the schedule will now be moved away from regular broadcast times.
Part of a savings package
The change is part of SVT's SEK 355 million savings package. Several programs are removed or redesigned, and the entire business is affected.
At the same time, SVT states that the staff at the culture editorial office will remain, but that their work will change
Less space for culture
When SVT's own broadcasts disappear and the content is baked into other programs, culture is given less space on SVT. This means that a previously separate part of the offering is now disappearing and being replaced by shorter features in other news programs.
Sob, sob
Stupid stupid Trump who perpetuated the whole scam.
And now.
Now we are talking 35 years in prison + repayment of ALL funds that Svt has appropriated.
Why not shut down the whole Svt and turn it into a pay channel so those who want to watch and pay for the shit.
