From and including January 26, "Babel" will be broadcast as 15 half-hour episodes in the spring and autumn.

There will also be several one-hour programs in connection with major book events such as book fairs and the Nobel Prize.

As before, the program will be hosted by Jessika Gedin.

"I will never get tired of this job, so it will be nice to do more Babel. As long as there are readers, there should be literature programs", she says in a press release.

The 20th anniversary will be celebrated with an extra-long jubilee program in the spring.
