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's Head of Digital Transformation, Dennis Buhr, stated on September 13, 2026, that "software-defined" production extends beyond hardware replacement. Under Buhr's leadership, the broadcaster underwent a technical and organizational transition for the 2026 Winter Olympics, which allowed its "Neo" live production platform to support over 550 hours of coverage across 10 simultaneous production environments. This follows the platform's recognition on September 2, 2026, when Buhr received the 2026 EBU Technology & Innovation Award for Neo. He noted that the true challenge lay in changing how people collaborate, from staffing two-person control rooms during the Great Moose Migration to managing software-defined production at the Winter Olympics. Earlier, on August 31, 2026, Joakim Lundell remarked on SVT's program "Hatet" not securing the "Kristallen" 2026 award for "this year's investigation," despite its nomination.
