Matti Kyllönen (born 6 February 1949) is a Finnish Formula One commentator.
==Formula 1 commentator==
In 1985, Kyllönen narrated his first formula race, the legendary Monaco GP, at that time for TV2 where the competition was summarized. Before this, he had made programs about F1, for example for HTV. In the 1985 season, Kyllönen also reported the Belgian GP, ​​among other things.
In the years 1987–1992, the then Kolmoskanava alternately showed the F1 races with Yleisradio, with Kyllönen as the commentator and Keke Rosberg as the commentator. Parivaljakko also reported races for YLE in the 1987–1988 seasons after Kyllönen's previous regular commentator Juha Varjosaari moved aside from the F1 side. YLE worked closely with Kolmostelevision and Crea companies regarding formula broadcasts.
From the 1989 season, Kyllönen, together with Keke Rosberg, became a regular F1 commentator for Kolmostelevision. In the seasons 1987-1992, of the F1 broadcasts of the then Kolmostelevision, only a couple of races remained uncommented in Kyllö. Erkki Vanhanen was the replacement in these.
Since 1994, MTV3 has televised almost all F1 races with qualifying sessions live. Kyllönen continued his commentary on MTV3 until 2000 as his partner Erkki Mustakari. After 2000, Kyllönen left MTV3 as an F1 commentator when F1 production moved away from CreaVideo. In the 2001 and 2002 Formula 1 seasons, Kyllönen explained the races with multi-channel broadcasts sent via Canal Digital. In the 2002 Indianapolis race, Kyllönen's partner in the commentary was Mika Häkkinen.
Kyllönen's passionate Formula 1 reports, along with the success of the Finns, are one of the biggest reasons for the sport's great popularity in Finland.
In 2007-2008, Kyllönen returned to explain Formula 1 for MTV3 as post-broadcasts together with Erkki Mustakari, who had been explaining formulas with her throughout the 1990s.
