ABC was a Swedish regional news programme. It was Sveriges Television's (SVT's) regional news service for Stockholm County and Uppsala County between 1987 and 2015.
The name came from the county letters for Stockholm (AB) and Uppsala (C). The programme was broadcast from the SVT news studio in Stockholm and had a local office in Uppsala.
History
SVT had been airing regional news since the start of Sydnytt in 1970 and had slowly opened up new regional news services for different parts of the country. ABC started in 1987, making Stockholm and Uppsala the last counties in Sweden to receive regional television news.{{cite news|url=https://www.svd.se/arkiv/1987-08-25/14|title=Pohlman väderexpert i ABC|work=Svenska Dagbladet|date=25 August 1987}}
