Michael Österlund, acting director of security and emergency preparedness at SVT, tells Sveriges Radios Ekot that it is a power outage during the night.
All our core tasks have remained, for example VMA and news dissemination.
SVT has a preparedness assignment to broadcast during times of crisis and war, but according to Österlund, the preparedness is good despite the outage.
I think it's serious when we don't get out with our entire broad range of offerings to the Swedish people, but it's important to say that, for example, the news have been able to be published, he says to Ekot.
It was at 06:00 on Thursday morning that it went black in the TV screen. A little later, the image came on and a table image with the text "We are waiting for 'Morgonstudion'".
SVT Play had continued problems, but shortly after 08:00, the broadcasts were running there as well.
The website SVT Nyheter functioned as usual.
