The Board assesses that UR fulfills its assignment to fully for the third year in a row. At SR and SVT, however, there are shortcomings:
SR has only partially fulfilled the condition of reporting key figures that show productivity. SR has also not shown that the requirement to prioritize access to programs for young people with disabilities is met.
SVT has not fully reported what sponsorship grant the company received in connection with the international broadcast of the Melodifestivalen. Therefore, SVT has only partially met the requirements for reporting sponsorship grants and income in addition to fee funds. .
