More than 70% of the channel's programs are documentaries, news, or educational programmes.

History

The channel started test transmissions on 13 August 1957 and began regular broadcasts on 1 January 1958 as Suomen Televisio, then the second television channel to operate in Finland. When Yleisradio took over the Tampere-based Tamvisio in 1964, Suomen Televisio was renamed TV-ohjelma 1, and Tamvisio became TV-ohjelma 2, and when they started broadcasting in colour in the 1970s, they were rebranded again, as TV1 and TV2.
In January 1970, it was made available in Åland.
