Finlands Svenska Radio (FSR) is the Swedish-language radio department of Finlands national broadcaster Rundradion (generally known as YLE, from its Finnish name Yleisradio).
The department is responsible for the Swedish-language radio channels of YLE; Radio Vega and Radio Extrem. These are available in areas of Finland where the Swedish-speaking minority is found (mainly the coastal areas). In some parts of the country without a strong Swedish-speaking prescene, the programmes of the 2 channels share a single station called "FSR-Mixkanalen" (with each channel broadcasting at certain times of the day).
Some programmes of FSR's channels are also simulcast on YLE's international radio channel, Radio Finland.
