Ođđasat is a Sámi television news programme broadcast in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Jointly produced by NRK, SVT and Yle, the public service broadcasters in their respective countries, the programme is presented from NRK's studio in Norway.
It is broadcast from Monday to Friday, ten months a year. Each programme is around 15 minutes long and deals mostly with Sami issues but also has Nordic and world news, often dealing with other indigenous peoples. Most reports are from the official Sápmi areas; only rarely are there news stories about other places with significant Sámi populations (e.g. Oslo, Umeå) unless the stories also involve Sápmi areas. No Russian companies are known to have been involved in the production or by submitting stories.
As of November 2023, episodes are broadcast more or less simultaneously on NRK1, SVT2, and NRK Sámi Radio in the afternoon, usually at 17:30. Broadcasts in Finland were moved from Yle Teema & Fem to Yle TV1 at some point in the late 2010s, where it airs as a late night newscast; and to TV Finland, where it airs during daytime the following day.
Almost all audio in the program is in Northern Sami; one Southern Sami episode was known to have been broadcast in August 2018.
Each episode concludes with a short weather forecast, focusing on Sápmi and the northern parts of the Gulf of Bothnia, leaving out Oslo and Trondheim but including Murmansk and Lovozero.
