Whether it’s quality TV from the main channel watched by millions of viewers, special programmes on personal interests on one of the TV4 Group’s thematic channels, or news and reports from the local TV4 news desk, the schedules contain every programme conceivable. Apart from TV4, Sweden’s largest TV channel, the TV4 Group’s channel portfolio also comprises Sjuan, TV4 Film, TV11, TV4 Fakta, TV4 Guld, TV4 Komedi, TV4 Sport, TV4 Science Fiction and TV4Nyheterna (news). The TV4 Group also has 25 local TV stations and TV4 is available in a HD-version. There are also four Finnish TV channels MTV3 Sarja, MTV3 Scifi, MTV3 Fakta and MTV3 Leffa.

The TV4 Group owns 65 percent of C More Entertainment / Canal+ , the Nordic region’s leading premium pay-per-view company, with operations in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. Its programme portfolio contains blockbuster films, series and sports on several channels. Almost a million house-holds in the Nordic region have chosen Canal+ in their channel packages. In addition to its linear TV channels, Canal+ offers pay-per-view and video-on-demand services both on the Internet and through various distributors. Altogether, there are a total of 30 channels in the TV4 Group portfolio.

TV4 is Sweden’s largest TV channel, a status it has earned thanks to the wellconceived variety of its schedule. Major international entertainment formats are complemented by in-house produced comedy shows; the most popular American series rub shoulders with domestic drama productions; and serious social commentary from news and current affairs programmes exist sideby- side with well-informed sports journalism and the top sporting events. And Nyhetsmorgon is Sweden’s only breakfast show that broadcast 365 days a year.

From Malmö in the south to Luleå in the north, TV4 also broadcasts local news programmes from strategically located news centres around the country. During 2009 the number of local news programmes increased to 25, something that has been made possible thanks to novel technological solutions and new ways of working, with more local reporters.

In other words, TV4 is very much part of Sweden, in terms of both content and geography.

Sjuan is a channel for the female audience that offers the viewer programmes on favourite subjects like gardening, relationships, cooking, decorating and pets that are all presented in a warm, personal manner. Popular drama, crime series and films complete the schedule. The channel changed name from TV4 Plus to Sjuan in september 2011.
