Regional Stations
There are five Radio Vega regions, each of which provides distinctive programming for its own area at certain times of the day. These regions are:
- Vega Huvudstadsregionen: Finnish Capital Region, based in Helsinki/Helsingfors and also available in other parts of Finland
- Vega Västnyland: Western Nylandia, based in Raseborg/Raasepori
- Vega Östnyland: Eastern Nylandia, based in Porvoo/Borgå
- Vega Österbotten: Ostrobothnia, based in Vaasa/Vasa
- Vega Åboland: Finland Proper and the Åland Islands, based in Turku/Åbo - although it should be noted that Radio Vega's remit does not include coverage of events on Åland, since broadcasting thre is a reserved matter for the autonomous provincial government in Mariehamn. Åland has its own public service radio and television service, Ålands radio och tv.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
