The educational and minority programmes are however a minor part of P2, mainly slotted in the early morning and in the afternoon. SR does however provide an all-music version of P2 with the minority and educational programming replaced by music. This was for a long time available on FM radio in Malmö and Stockholm (called P2 Malmö and P2 Stockholm respectively) and since 2000 on the Internet under the name "P2 Musik". As SR launched the new stations [[Din gata 100,6]] and SR Metropol, the FM frequencies for P2 Musik where taken over by other stations. It does however continue to be available on the Internet, since April 2007 with the name "P2 Alltid Musik", and in Stockholm there is also P6 89,6 which works as a "reversed P2" with classical music when there is minority programmes on P2 and vice versa.

As of 11 May 2009 P2 in Stockholm became an all-music channel rebroadcasting "P2 Alltid Musik". All minority and foreign-language programmes in Stockholm have been moved to P6 89,6 FM.

P2, like the three other SR national radio channels, is transmitted on a nationwide FM network covering virtually all of Sweden.

P2 (pe två) is one of the four main radio channels operated by Sweden's national publicly funded radio broadcasting organization Sveriges Radio (SR). It broadcasts music (principally classical music and jazz) and also carries educational programming as well as programmes in minority languages. P2 was officially similar and related to BBC Radio 3.

History

[edit]

The channel began life on 26 November 1955 as Sweden's second radio channel.[1] In 1966, SR gave its channels distinct profiles, making P2 the channel for education, regional programming, and "serious" music. Regional radio later became local radio and was moved to P3 – still later to P4 – leaving P2 with the profile it has today.

The music played on P2 is mostly classical in the broadest sense (from the earliest known compositions to 20th-century and contemporary works), but also features jazz, folk and "world music": in this respect P2 can be compared toaccording to whom? many other similar public radio stations around the world, such as ABC Classic FM, BBC Radio 3, CBC Radio 2, DR P2, France Musique, Polskie Radio Dwójka, RDP Antena 2, RNE Radio Clásica, WDR 3, and Ylen Klassinen. P2 also features contemporary electronic music two hours a week.[2]

Programming

[edit]

Programming in minority languages is contributed by SR Sisuradio, Sameradion, and SR International. Educational programmes from Utbildningsradion are also broadcast on P2. These educational and minority programmes, however, constitute only a small part of P2's schedule, and they are mainly broadcast in the early morning and in the afternoon.

SR also produces an all-music version of P2 under the name "P2 Musik" in which the minority-language and educational programming is replaced by music (largely from the webradio channel SR Klassiskt). This is available on the web and, in the capital only, on 96.2 FM from P2's Stockholm transmitter. The minority-language and educational content thus replaced is available in Stockholm as part of the programming of SR's P6 International channel on 89.6 FM.
