And to badly translate that article into English...
Sunday was the last time NRK's ​​Swedish sister channel SVT used the channel hosts, or so-called "hello ladies" on the screen. From now on SVT's program presentation be made through voice and text on the screen.
The decision has caused massive reactions among the Swedish people. The newspaper Aftonbladet has conducted a poll on the Internet, where over 122,000 people have responded to whether they will miss SVTs hello ladies. The survey, 80% answered yes to the question, and in comments to the matter is not gracious readers.
"Complete madness! Making radio of television is completely wrong! Take back the caps on the decision, "writes Bo Fransson.
"I do not think that they disappear. We hear that poor people will see who is speaking. And think of all that lonely perhaps as these (channel hosts, journ.anm.) As their friends, "writes Maud Olsson.
Channel hosts have been a staple at SVT since they started their television broadcasts. At the beginning of the 90th century chose to go the management of the program presentation with sound and no picture, but the decision is made as large reactions among the public that the channel hosts were re-introduced after six months.

TV Director for Norwegian, Arne Helsing, says NRK do not plan to follow in the footsteps of SVT.
- No, we have considered dropping the channel hosts. We choose instead to develop them on the screen of NRK1 also in the future, he said.
- We see the force of that in NRK is present with several people who can provide information on NRK's ​​services on all platforms. We also have a channel will be clear as to guide the public in the event of things, and inform about what is happening and for additional broadcasts.
- Many people feel that they probably know us

Ingvild Helljesen which is hosted in channel NRK, says she thinks it's a shame that her Swedish colleagues disappear from the screen.
She believes the public in Norway appreciates channel hosts.
- Absolutely. And we get feedback as well. They feel that they probably know us a little bit too. And many people find good company in the U.S.. I have also a very strong sense of community with people when I'm on duty. It's nice to be able to share experiences and also tell about the rich and diverse offer NRK, she said.

- Very sad
Although many of the major TV channels in Europe have chosen to join the channel hosts, there are still some countries that hold again. Both Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland and Italy have continued the program presentation with channel hosts.
Justine Kirk, who was the last Swedish channel host thanked on Sunday (see video at the top of the article) think it is sad to leave.
- It's kjempevemodig. I love this course. I've been so nice and friendly shouts of attention. I am proud that I got to the last, but I'll probably first to understand that it's over when it's been a few days, she says to Aftonbladet
