Ella Ossi, the host of Yle's Ylex radio show "Uuden musiikin X," revealed during a live broadcast that she would end her tenure with the program on Thursday, to the shock of her listeners. Ossi shared that the decision was part of broader programming changes at the station, which would see the show renamed but also expanded to include more current content. New host Sonny Kylä-Liuhala will take over the program following Ossi's departure.

Ossi's emotional breakdown during the announcement highlighted her attachment to the show, which she had been a part of for some time. She expressed her sadness and regret over leaving, stating that she had hoped to remain composed while delivering the news but was overcome with emotion. The programming changes at Yle are indicative of an effort to refresh and modernize their content offerings, focusing on adding more relevant and timely material to engage listeners.

This decision raises questions about the future direction of Yle's programming, especially considering the evolving nature of radio broadcasting and listener preferences. Ossi's departure will likely have an impact on the audience she has built over her tenure, and it remains to be seen how the new format and host will resonate with listeners moving forward.
