Kunskapskanalen (in literal translation: the Knowledge channel) is a Swedish language television channel broadcasting educational and factual programming between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. all days of the week. The channel is operated by Sveriges Television (SVT) and Sveriges Utbildningsradio (UR) and is broadcast by satellite, cable and digital terrestrial television to Sweden as well as by cable to parts of Finland and terrestrially on Åland. Because Denmark and Sweden borders so close at the Øresund Strait, the channel can also be received over DVB-T in Copenhagen. The channel was officially opened on 27 September, 2004 and did initially only broadcast between Sundays and Thursdays. Transmissions on Fridays and Saturdays started in January 2006. On weekdays, UR did broadcast between 6-7:30 and 9:30-11 and SVT between 7:30-9:30. On weekends UR started at 6, handing over to SVT at 9. UR use in-vision presenters for their programmes until January 2007, when in-vision continuity was abolished at UR. During the night a simple caption is broadcast. The channel shares space with Barnkanalen, which broadcast in the day-time. On 1 September, 2007, the channel got new broadcasting hours.
