A classical theorem of Camille Jordan concerning finite linear groups is used to give two structural characterisations of profinite groups which have only finitely many pairwise inequivalent, continuous, irreducible, unitary representations of each degree. Our characterisations of such groups involve properties of their open normal subgroups.
