MTV, Ilmalankatu

MTV Oy (originally Mainostelevisio, “Commercial television”) was Finland’s first commercial TV broadcaster. Its main studios are located immediately west of the Yle campus, jsut south of Ilmala station. MTV operates “channel 3”; before being granted a channel of its own, MTV leased time on Yle’s TV1 and TV2 transmitters. In more recent years it’s been joined by another commercial channel, Nelonen (“4”, as in the digit), and the Swedish-language “Yle Fem” (“five”), and most recently, a commercial digital channel currently owned by and branded as Fox.
