A total of 141 services are affected, and several popular programs are being closed as SVT has to make savings. Sports are also affected.

Sports news will be shortened. We will also protect the unifying sports here: the Olympics and the football World Cup, where we now hope that Sweden will take part this summer, says SVT's CEO Anne Lagercrantz.

Anne Lagercrantz does not want to say which championships and competitions are at risk.

I don't want to give any examples because these are also business negotiations, Lagercrantz says.

The savings requirement does not affect coverage of this summer's World Cup, which SVT shares with TV4.

- No, and these are savings that will take effect next year, in 2027, she says.
