Website: www.rtvv.se

The Swedish Radio & TV Authority is a government authority within the media field. It grants licences for local and community radio transmissions and for temporary transmissions activities. It also designates local cable broadcasting companies. Where licences to transmit digital terrestrial television and radio are concerned, it is one of the authority's tasks to submit proposals to the Government as to how these licences should be distributed. The authority monitors developments in the media field, deals with matters concerning fees for radio and terrestrial television financed by advertising, issues regulations and supervises standards and registers legally responsible people for transmissions.
