As part of SR, Sameradion and its sister television channel SVT Sápmi work with reporters and bureaus across Sweden, but it also shares reporting and programming withNRK SápmiandYle Sami Radio,the Sámi-focused public services in Norway and Finland respectively.[2]The station is based inGiron,Sweden, with bureaus in Arvidsjaur,Luleju,Umeå,andStockholm,Sweden, as well asGuovdageaidnuandKárášjohka,Norway.[1]
In contrast toNRK Sámi Radio,Sameradion does not have a standalone radio antenna station of its own, not even on theLuleå-PiteåDABmultiplex. It does however have a 24/7 internet radio station,[3]with the schedule mostly containing simulcasts with (and re-runs from) larger SR stations, imported shows from Norway, and music.
History
[edit]Sameradion traces its roots to the early-1950s, when SR began broadcasting programming targeting Sámi listeners, albeit in Swedish. In 1960, SR launched "Sámi Ságat," a Swedish-language program for Sámi hosted byNils Hövenmark.In 1965, Sameradion began broadcasting regularly in Sámi languages.[4]
