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.
On September 2, 2026, Dennis Buhr, SVT's Head of Digital Transformation, discussed the broadcaster's award-winning Neo platform, a software-defined live production system, explaining that "building it was never the hardest part." Buhr highlighted the greater challenge of changing human workflows, citing examples from a two-person control room during the Great Moose Migration to staffing software-defined production at the Winter Olympics. Previously, on August 31, the SVT program "Hatet" received a nomination for "Årets Granskning" at the Kristallen 2026 awards but did not win, a point acknowledged by Joakim Lundell during the ceremony. Earlier in the year, on June 25, SVT's Neo platform was detailed as a fully software-based production system that ran 10 parallel production environments and OTT channels during the 2026 Winter Olympics, built entirely on standard IT hardware. This followed the initial announcement on June 19, when SVT won the EBU Technology & Innovation Award 2026 for Neo, presented at the EBU Technology & Innovation Summit in Barcelona, recognizing it as a landmark achievement in the transition towards software-based broadcast production.
