NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Norsk Rikskringkasting

Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) - the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation - is the Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company. It is financed not as a post in the national budget, but primarily through a combination of a mandatory yearly license fee for each person who is in possession of a TV, and the display of static commercial placards (sponsor-logos) before certain tv-shows. Regular radio broadcasts started in Norway in 1925 by the privately owned company Kringkastningselskapet A/S, the predecessor to NRK which was founded in 1933. Based on a model similar to the BBC, and located in Oslo, it was a replacement for privately operated radio stations in the larger cities. NRK initially set out to get coverage over the entire country, and had a monopoly on broadcasting in Norway until the monopoly was gradually dissolved from 1975 onwards.
