Tampere is a strong ''media city.'' The television center in [[Tohloppi]] and [[Ristimäki]] districts has had a nationwide [[Yle TV2]] television channel since the 1970s,<ref name=niemela/> and Finnish radio, for example, began in Tampere when [[Arvi Hauvonen]] founded the first broadcasting station in 1923.<ref name=niemela/> Yle TV2 has its roots in Tamvisio, which was transferred to [[Yleisradio]] (YLE, Finnish National Broadcasting Company) in 1964. ''Kakkoskanava'' ("Channel 2") has been a major influence in Tampere, and several well-known television programs and series have been shot in the city,<ref name=niemela/> such as TV comedies ''[[Tankki täyteen]]'', ''[[Reinikainen (TV series)|Reinikainen]]'' and ''[[Kummeli]]''. There's also a play park in central Tampere named after the channel's most famous children's programme, Pikku Kakkonen's Park.

Today, Yle operates as a tenant in its old premises, which in 2013 was transformed into a hub for visual media production companies and training institutes called Mediapolis.

The [[Ruutu+]] streaming service's popular crime drama television series ''[[Lakeside Murders]]'' ({{langx|fi|Koskinen}}), based on the ''Koskinen'' book series by [[Seppo Jokinen]], is also produced and filmed in Tampere.<ref name="hs_2020-12-10" /><ref name="aamulehti_2021-11-26" />
