SR's youth channel, P3, is the channel that has been most influenced by the new competition. P1 broadcasts for 20 hours a day. The music programme is available on FM 24 hours a day in the greater Stockholm and Malm areas, but in the rest of the country educational programmes and minority language programmes are also broadcast for a total of 5 hours a day. The 24 hour music programme is also broadcast on a nation-wide DAB channel. The channel broadcasts pop music, news, cultural and social programmes 24 hours a day.
Entertainment is a major element.
Through its programmes, P3 aims at involving young people in current social issues. The 26 local channels have a particular responsibility for promoting local culture and music. Broadcasts are between 6.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. on weekdays. The stress is placed on news and information via an integrated system of local, national and international news and current affairs broadcasts. During evenings and weekends, the channels transmit national network broadcasts, including programmes from the Sports department and a number of SR's most popular programmes.
