After Sydnytt and Västnytt, Nordnytt was SVT's third regional news program.
It premiered on 5 March 1973[1] as an experiment in implementing regional news in Sweden.
On April 12 it was renamed SVT Nyheter Norrbotten, since it no longer broadcasts in Västerbotten, which is considered a part of Northern Sweden.
On weekdays, it is broadcast at 07:10, 07:40, 08:10, 08:40, 09:10 as parts of Gomorron Sverige.
Weekday evening editions are broadcast before or after the Aktuellt and Rapport programmes.
