Background

Tamvisio was launched on 1957 as the sister channel of Tesvisio. The television channel's coverage area consisted of the surrounding region of Tampere. Much like Tesvisio, it was a commercial channel with advertisements and sponsored programs being aired. Due to financial issues, Yleisradio bought both Tamvisio and Tesvisio in 1964, both of which were replaced by Yleisradio's TV-Ohjelma 2.

(1959-December 29, 1964)
