Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Swedish public service television broadcaster Sveriges Television, SVT, has announced large budget cuts that will affect up to 141 jobs. SVT will need to save SEK 355 million (€32.8 million) due to increased costs for the terrestrial transmission network and additional requirements on digital preparedness. The increased costs have not been matched by increased public funding.
The budget cuts will affect SVT nationwide, but redundancies have been notified in Stockholm, Umeå, Gothenburg, and Växjö. A large majority of the redundancies will concern the news division. Several programs will also be discontinued as a result of the savings.
The new lower cost level for SVT will need to be in place by the beginning of 2027.
