History
The company was founded on 1 May 1996, as a public service company owned by the State Department of Åland. The company took over the operations previously carried out by Rundradion i Finland on Åland, and operations changed radically after that. From broadcasting four hours a day, Åland Radio increased its broadcasts to all-day broadcasts. Today, the company broadcasts locally produced radio from 06.30 to 21.00 every weekday, and between 08.00 and 18.00 on weekends.[citation needed]
In year-end 2019, it was expected that the broadcaster would receive €2.5 million in taxes in 2020.[2] On 20 May 2020, the broadcaster's entrance door was damaged for unknown reasons.[3]
ÅRTV switched to HDTV broadcasts via the Smedsböle mast on February 9, 2021. From March 31, 2021, all broadcasts in standard definition ceased. Viewers had to change to an HD-compatible decoder in order to continue watching.[4]
Logo and identities
The current logo of the broadcaster was designed by CG Sjöberg and has been in use since 2012, which was updated in late August to early September 2016. The first logo was originally in use from the channel's launch to May 2012.[5]
