Rapport (TV programme)

Rapport ("Report") is one of the two main news programmes from the Swedish television broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT). Rapport's main bulletin is broadcast every day at 19:30 on SVT1. It runs for thirty minutes every day except Saturday, when it runs for fifteen minutes. Ever since the 1970s, it has been the most watched news bulletin in Sweden. A shorter version of the show is aired weekdays at 18:00 as part of a thirty-minute bloc on SVT1 that includes Kulturnyheterna (culture and entertainment news) and Sportnytt (sport news). On weekends the 18:00 edition runs on SVT1 for fifteen minutes. Since 2005, the show has usually been presented by Katarina Sandström, Lisbeth Åkerman and Morgan Olofsson. In the summer, both Aktuellt and Rapport 19:30 are frequently hosted by temps. A feature of Rapport at 19:30 is that the bulletin consists solely of filmed reports and some telegrams with almost no studio interviews done. Rapport also used to refer to shorter news bulletins that aired on SVT1 and SVT2 throughout the day but since late 2016, they have all been renamed as SVT Nyheter. This means all Rapport bulletins now air exclusively on SVT1.
