Swedish term

främjande

Swedish to English Law/Patents Government / Politics
krav på främjande or kravet på främjande program

This relates to television broadcasting.

I would think this is referring to "public service programing" or "public service requirements"

Michael Ellis May 27, 2021:
Encouragement /Promotion I doubt this is directly "Public Service", Charles.
It could be programmes for encouraging things like cycling or eating less sugar.
More context, please,
Christopher Schröder May 26, 2021:
Surely what främjas depends on the context?

public interest

Yeah, a tough one. So sorry this took so long.

My suggestion is a guess based on other public service broadcasting ideas, but like Michael says, more context would be helpful. Your term seems to be shorthand for this idea -- broadcasting that has public or social interest, or that promotes a public or social interest. Since the whole system is called 'public service' I'd say you can't reuse that term to describe the various requirements for programs they may have. You were right to ask for this wonderful Swedish word that is so often pretty obvious except when it isn't.
