SVT24, stylized as svt24, formerly known as SVT 24 (Then stylized svt 24) or 24 is a Swedish language TV channel broadcast by Sveriges Television (SVT). It started broadcasting in 1999 as a dedicated news channel. In 2003 it extended its scope to include other current events-related programmes and sports in the weekends. Nowadays the channel mainly consists of news, sports and entertainment programmes with a focus on reruns from SVT1 and SVT2.
On 15 March 1999 at 13:15 the broadcasting of SVT24 started. It started with a news summary followed by an official opening by the CEO of SVT. In the beginning, SVT24 simulcasted with other channels a lot of the time, first in SVT2 and in the summer on SVT1. SVT24 got to take care of extended broadcasts in case of special events.
The channel broadcast news every fifteen minutes throughout the weekday. However, there were no broadcasts in the weekends and the nightly broadcasts started some months later. At :00 and :30 SVT24 showed longer bulletins, but the :15 and :45 broadcasts were just news summaries. The channel also broadcast economic news twice every hour, lots of weather forecasts, reports from the Nordic countries and other featured stories. The material was mostly picked up from other news programmes.
Given the time, the body rots
closed in a coffin, an easy mindfuck
Channel the pain, let it all through
Hang on the wire, call it a liar
Suck it up, hold it in
A mortal like me, a dead give away
Hang on tonight, let it all out
You`ve never been closer to feeling alive
Hate it, crave it
Wish for something that once was mine
thats left in the wake of the right time
Die from the pain you inflict on your mind
choke on the vowels that race out your mouth
Bleed for the smiles, cry harder each night
It`s always too little, too late in time
Hang on tonight, let it all out
You`ve never been closer to being a liar
Hate it, crave it
