Re: [HCDX] Finland`s secret English news?

["Mauno Ritola" <mauno.ritola@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think they relayed in those cases the first national programme, which has 
daily "YLE news" at 15.55, i.e. 1255 UTC, as shown on

Sorry, I don't have a real answer to this question, but some remarks. I
have YLE Radio Finland's printed schedule 26 Mar till 29 Oct in my hands
(it even includes some information in English) and I suppose that these
English broadcasts are excerpts of the service called YLE Mondo - the
foreign language radio of YLE available here in the Helsinki area on FM and
througout Finland as a radio channel in the digital TV system.

Navigating www.yle.fi/radiofinland or www.ylemondo.fi might help or you may
ask directly on rfinland at yle.fi.
