Sveriges Television

Sveriges Television AB (SVT), pronounced [ˈsværjɛs tɛlɛvɪˈɧuːn], is the national public television broadcaster of Sweden. It is supported by a television license fee that all television set owners are required to pay, as determined by the Riksdag. The public broadcasting model in Sweden closely follows that of the United Kingdom, and SVT has several similarities with the BBC, its British equivalent.
