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:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
