Swedish television channel TV4 will be allowed to show as many commercials as satellite competitors TV3 and Kanal 5, under new proposals from the government. Most commercial broadcasters in Europe are allowed to show a maximum of 15 minutes advertising per hour. This is the limit proposed in a new EU directive being planned. In Sweden, the maximum level is 12 minutes per hour. TV3 and Kanal 5 both broadcast by satellite from London, meaning they are bound by looser British rules rather than the strict Swedish regulations that apply to terrestrial competitor TV4.

Writing in media magazine Resumé, culture minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth said that the government wants to bring Swedish rules in line with EU standards. The new rules will come into effect on February 1st next year.
