News Summary:
Levira Media Services was welcomed to aql's Leeds headquarters on March 27, 2026, establishing a presence for the Estonian media company which serves global broadcasters including France 24, PBS America, and Warner Bros/Discovery. Previously, on February 6, 2026, Estonia's Ministry of Finance sought assessments from the Ministries of Justice, Culture, and the Interior to determine if the state should maintain its stake in media infrastructure company Levira, examining its services, goals, and performance. Earlier, on January 15, 2026, the TV mast in Orissaare, which initiated television coverage for Estonia's islands Saaremaa and Hiiumaa on December 28, 1965, celebrated its 60th anniversary, having been part of a network established during the Soviet occupation to provide nationwide coverage. This follows Levira's expansion to the UK in December 2025, when it established Levira Media Services to better secure significant deals, with UK business director Martti Kinkar stating that a Tallinn-only operation was insufficient for British negotiations. Also in December 2025, Estonia officially launched the digital radio DAB+ era, with additional transmitters deployed in October across locations like Haapsalu and Orissaare, expanding R1 and R3 networks to reach 80% of the Estonian population, building on tests conducted since November 2022.
