TV4 is a Swedish television network. It started broadcasting by satellite in 1990 and, since 1992, on the terrestrial network. In 1994, TV4 became the largest channel and remained so for a number of years. The two channels of Sveriges Television (SVT) lost more and more viewers for a couple of years. But after making schedule changes in 2001, SVT1 had practically the same numbers of viewers as TV4. Since 2004 the TV4 Group has been a fully active member of the European Broadcasting Union. ==History== TV4 was launched on 15 September 1990. The channel invested in an extensive news organisation and Swedish drama series. The premiere suffered from technical faults and the drama series weren't popular with critics. In 1991, two of the channels oldest entertainment programmes premiered: the Swedish version of ''Jeopardy!'' and the Saturday night bingo show ''Bingolotto''. Bingolotto in particular became highly popular. This year also saw TV4 awarded a license to broadcast terrestrially. Terrestrial broadcasts started on 2 March 1992. During this year, ''Nyhetsmorgon'' started and marked the introduction of weekday breakfast television in Sweden. During the 1990s TV4 would broadcast several popular Friday night entertainment shows such as ''Fångarna på fortet'' (Swedish version of ''Fort Boyard''), ''Kär och galen'', ''Tur i kärlek'', ''På rymmen'', ''Sikta mot stjärnorna'' (''Soundmix Show''), ''Stadskampen'', (''Intervilles'') and ''Småstjärnorna'' (''Mini Playback Show''). They also broadcast several home-grown sitcoms such as ''Rena Rama Rolf'' and ''En fyra för tre'' as well as the popular soap opera ''Tre kronor''. In the early 1990s, the TV4 Group decided to move their 7pm evening news to 7:30pm in order to compete with the most popular news programme, ''Rapport'', which, at that time, was broadcast on SVT2. This failed and the news was subsequently moved to 6:30pm. In 2004, the evening news was moved to 7pm, and the status quo reinstated. In 2004, TV4 began transitioning to become a digital-only service, starting by shutting down its analogue satellite signal.〔(TV4-Gruppen har avvecklat den analoga satelliten )〕 On 19 September 2005, TV4 began shutting down analogue terrestrial transmissions, starting at the island of Gotland. The analogue shutoff was completed by October 2007. Before TV4 Group closing, started with ads, philosophy words, national anthem Du gamla, Du fria and terrestrial programmes. Since 2004, TV4 has been broadcasting a Swedish version of the internationally popular Pop Idol format. Most recently, and most unfortunately, the Channel4News channel was abruptly discontinued on August 31, 2013, for profit reasons, according to the management. Little notice was given to viewers, who just found a message of discontinuation on their screens upon tuning into Channel4News channel after the end of August, 2013. Email protests on the official Channel4 group contact form have been ignored, according to one regular viewer who has used this channel for his op ed and feature articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TV4 (Sweden)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
