YLE TV1 is currently showing reruns of the 2009 dramatic series
Uutishuone (“Newsroom”, see
here as well) set in the time period spanning from 1967 to 1981. The series is a bit
Mad Men -esque in its attempt at historical accuracy. It revisits some of the key news events of the era (from the local Finnish viewpoint, of course) along with examining the (fictional) personal relations of the TV news reporters covering them.
The episode 1/12 already aired last Sunday but is still available for viewing on YLE Areena for some 5 days (see
here and
here). The remaining 11 episodes will be shown
on Sundays at 9:05 pm on YLE TV1.

The theme song in the
opening sequence,
Yhdessä yössä, is performed by
Vuokko Hovatta — a former member of the now-defunct
Ultra Bra — and written by Sami Keski-Vähälä and Pessi Levanto. The full-length single version is available for commercial download
on CDON.com. Lyrics can be found
here.
