Television in Norway began in 1954, with the establishment of the national broadcaster NRK. Today, it offers a variety of channels, including public and commercial options, catering to diverse audiences with news, entertainment, and educational programming. The viewing landscape has evolved with the rise of digital platforms and streaming services. Many Norwegians now access content through Netflix, Viaplay, and other online services, reflecting a shift in how people consume media. Despite this change, traditional television remains popular, especially for live events and local programming.
