As a government entity, it operates four television channels, multiple radio channels, 25 regional stations, and the Yle Areena streaming platform, producing content in Finnish, Swedish, Sámi, and other languages. Key activities include news, education, culture, factual programming, sports, and entertainment, funded by a public Yle tax for editorial independence.
