Television and radio

Despite the wide reach of digital media in Estonia, traditional TV and radio programmes are still popular. Television broadcasters and radio stations offer a wide selection of programmes, including critically acclaimed films, music and plays as well as live broadcasts of major events.

Television and radio statistics cover all radio and TV stations in Estonia. The statistics include information such as:

  • how many TV and radio broadcasters there are in Estonia;
  • the duration of broadcasting;
  • the share of broadcasts in Estonian and the share of broadcasts in Russian;
  • how many people work in broadcasting.

All transmitting TV stations with a valid broadcasting licence submit data to Statistics Estonia. The statistics on television and radio are used to monitor and plan the consumption of traditional media.
