Yle Fem (Yle Five) is Yle's Finland-Swedish national television channel, providing television programmes in the Swedish language in Finland. It is a public-service channel principally intended for Finland's Swedish-speaking minority. Creating understanding over the language and culture border is also one of the channel's recognized objectives.[2]

Yle Fem was previously known as YLE FST5[3] (Finlands Svenska Television, literally "Finland's Swedish Television") but the name was changed because the watchers thought the name were only a combination of letters (Fem is Swedish for five.). Initially, Finlands Svenska Television's output was formerly included in the programming of Yle's two main television channels, TV1 and TV2. However, since 1 September 2007, all of Yle's Swedish-language television programmes are now broadcast exclusively on digital channel FST5.
