Yle TV1 (Finnish: Yle TV Yksi, Swedish: Yle TV Ett) is a Finnish television channel owned and operated by Finnish public broadcaster Yle. It is the second oldest television channel in Finland, after TES-TV, and is the oldest currently existing television channel in the country. More than 70% of the channel's programs are documentaries, news, or educational programmes. It is commonly referred to as Ykkönen, deriving from Yle's ownership of channels Spots 1 and 2 by default in Finland, with the other channel spot being Yle TV2.
