Swedish radio launches Melodifest!

06 February 2009 at 15:26 CET

The channel's presenter, Eurovision expert Kris Boswell says there should be something for everyone: "I've tried to pick a good mix of songs, both for those hardcore fans but also for people that might only know Carola and Abba. I also give a bit of background information in between the songs as well, so it's not just like any iTunes playlist. Many of the songs have been dragged up from the Swedish Radio record library and have never been released on CD and probably haven't been played on radio for decades!"

If you live in Sweden you can listen to the channel via DAB digitalradio, and the channel can also be heard around the globe via Swedish Radio's website here

The Swedish final - the highly popluar Melodifestivalen - will kick off with the first of five Semi-Finals tomorrow night on Swedish SVT.
