History
editThe channel started test transmissions on 13 August 1957, and began regular broadcasts on 1 January 1958 as Suomen Televisio and the second Finnish TV channel at the time. When Yleisradio took over the Tampere-based[1] Tamvisio in 1964, Suomen Televisio was renamed TV-ohjelma 1 and Tamvisio became TV-ohjelma 2, and when they started broadcasting in colour in the 1970s, they were rebranded again, as TV1 and TV2.
