Synopsis
Urheiluruutu is a daily sports magazine produced and broadcast by Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle. The programme originally launched on August 18, 1962. The sportsreader was Anssi Kukkonen and the programme was gathered up by Seppo Kannas. Kukkonen is also the father of the name Urheiluruutu which was inspired by Swedish Sportspegeln. Before Urheiluruutu the sports news was read in the end of normal news broadcast. In the beginning Urheiluruutu was broadcast only once in a week: 15 minutes at Sunday evenings. Later it was broadcast also on Thursdays and Saturdays. In 1993 the daily broadcasting began. The audiovisual appearance of Urheiluruutu has changed many times during the years, previously in February 2013. The first opening sequence from 1963 included an animated rooster, originating from a pun of Anssi Kukkonen's name. The most well-known theme music is the Leevi and the Leavings song Tuhannen markan seteli, used from 1983 to 1993. Nowadays the broadcasting times of Urheiluruutu are 7:16 p.m. in YLE TV2 and 8:55 p.m. in YLE TV1. Also a short sports segment is included after the 9:50 p.m. news bulletin in YLE TV2, often clashing with the beginning of rival station MTV3's Ten O'Clock News.
