Sveriges Television, also known as SVT, is a state-owned entity based in Sweden. Founded in 1956, with approximately 3,350 employees, the company reported $586.3M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, it specializes in broadcast television and radio. SVT operates as the Swedish national public television broadcaster, funded by a public service tax on personal income set by the Riksdag (national parliament). Prior to 2019, its funding model relied on a television licence fee payable by all owners of television sets. The Swedish public broadcasting system, and by extension SVT, is largely modelled after the system used in the United Kingdom, sharing many traits with its British counterpart, the BBC.
Sveriges Television (SVT) received the EBU Technology & Innovation Award 2026 on June 25 for its Neo platform, a fully software-based production system. The platform, which ran 10 parallel production environments and OTT channels during the 2026 Winter Olympics, is built entirely on standard IT hardware rather than dedicated broadcast equipment. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) presented the award at its Technology & Innovation Summit in Barcelona on June 19, recognizing Neo as a landmark achievement in the transition towards software-based broadcast production. This followed a discussion on June 18, 2026, where SVT Group Manager Production Development Madelen Ottosson addressed the implications of cloud-based workflows for sports streaming on staff, stating that large-scale cloud sports streaming necessitates fundamental changes in how streaming producers operate control rooms.
