– Acting has become one part of me, but it’s not the only one. In my life, quite a lot of different ways of expressing myself and doing work have settled in, Malmivaara commented on his news to Iltalehte in December.

Jonttu Virta is the guitarist of the popular band Dingo. A film about the 80s music phenomenon will be released in December, directed by Mari Rantasila.

The decision surprised

The end of the talk show came as a surprise to Nyberg.

– This was a surprise and this was also a disappointment. I would have done this, done even more. This is what the wise men of the village have decided, the journalist told Iltalehte in October.

Head of Yle’s procurement, rights and sales department Tarmo Kivikallio commented on the desire to renew the software behind the termination decision.

– We want to bring new content. Arto Nyberg has served very well for 20 years, which is an exceptionally long time for one program. It was considered that it is time to reform and bring new content to TV1’s basic audience, Kivikallio stated.
