Asemapäällikönhovi

The Asemapäällikönhovi building is a mixed-use complex located at Asemapäällikönkatu 3, in the Eastern Pasila (Itä-Pasila) area of the district of Pasila in Helsinki, Finland.

Television studio
The building complex contains the former TV-studios, later operated by Tuotantotalo Werne and currently operated by Streamteam Nordic. Today the studios are owned by telecom operator DNA who also owns other space in the building. The studios were inaugurated in December 1976 by the Mayor of Helsinki, Teuvo Aura. In 1978 the facility began to produce the first subscription-based TV channel in Europe, called Viihde-kanava. In 1982 the studio became the first in Europe to relay satellite broadcasts to a cable network. Large satellite dishes were installed on the roof of the residential tower to facilitate these operations, and they remain a local landmark to this day. == In popular culture ==
