SVT pauses Fråga Lund science program, Digi Mart USA News (Sweden): The Swedish public broadcaster SVT is pausing “Fråga Lund,” the classic popular science program, host Robin Paulsson announced on Instagram.
Paulsson, 42, wrote in the post that he received the decision from SVT today. “I have to admit I was a little surprised,” he wrote.
“But fairly soon the surprise was replaced by another feeling: gratitude.”
He thanked the people he had gotten to know, both in front of and behind the camera, as well as the fun, unexpected and memorable experiences the eight seasons had provided. He also thanked everyone who has watched the program over the years.
“And remember, there are no stupid questions,” he wrote.
“Fråga Lund” has aired in various formats on SVT since 1962. Charles Franz, SVT’s program director, said the program has been appreciated in several incarnations.
“This particular incarnation became eleven seasons long, and we are very glad about that,” he wrote.
Franz added that SVT is facing a very tangible financial situation and must cut costs. “It is simply not possible for us to make all the programs we would like, and therefore we now need to pause ‘Fråga Lund,’” he wrote.
