DTV Sport

DTV Sport (Finnish: DTV Urheilu) is the DTV sports producer and broadcaster in Dryicor.

The majority of its broadcasts are on its five dedicated channels (though major tournaments are often shown on the DTV network's main channels). Currently, DTV Urheilu 1 and DTV Urheilu 2 are available on terrestrial television, and the three other channels in the suite are available for an extra price (50 Kr each per month).

History
DTV Sport was formed as a production company for the burgeoning commercial network in 1966, originally as a brand for the network's sports output. It became a helpful production company for the Drahkorin jääkiekonliiga and, later, the Drahkorin jalkapallonliiga and Drahkorin jääpallonliiga.

Following the liberalisation of television frequencies in the 1980s and the reform of Terrevision, DTV Sport launched two standalone 24-hour terrestrial sports channels in 1990 in time for the, one each in Finnish and Norwegian. The channels were a success, and DTV subsequently set up more channels.

Ice hockey
DTV was the main broadcaster for the Drahkorin jääkiekonliiga from 1964 until 1990. Until the launch of DTV 2, the network would pick a match to broadcast live each week: after the launch of the second channel, the network would often pick two matches to broadcast (but never simultaneously).

The launch of Kanal 4 threatened DTV's long coverage, and from 1990 until 2002, the rights were split between the two networks. In 2002, DTV lost the rights to Kanal 4, who later invited DTV back to share the rights two years later. In 2009, the rights controversially went to Viaplay, who gave highlights to Televiisi.

After the decision was taken to continue with the league after the COVID-19 pandemic, an opportunity to split the rights to the remaining matches with Viaplay arose, which was quickly snapped up by DTV, which started broadcasting five matches a day (sometimes simultaneously across its five sports channels). This arrangement continued into the 2021-22 season, and the rights will go up for sale again in 2024.
