The Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle will begin a wholly in-house produced TV news service in the Sámi language as of December 2nd. Yle Ođđasat will be seen daily, nationwide, at 3:10 PM on Yle TV1.
Starting on December 2nd, audiences can see the new Yle Sámi language news broadcast “Yle Ođđasat” weekdays at 3:10 PM, following Yle News in English.
