Radio was in Norway by the private company since 1924 Kringkastningselskapet A / S broadcast. This society was the predecessor of the NRK founded in 1933. NRK is a state company (since 1996 a state stock corporation ) and held the broadcasting monopoly until the 1980s. Since 2000, NRK programs can also be received via the Internet .

For the first thirty years only radio was broadcast. It was not until 1954 that the first TV test programs were recorded. Regular broadcasting began in 1960. The first color programs were broadcast on the occasion of the 1972 Summer Olympics , but color broadcasts were not broadcast until 1975. Teletext has been broadcast since 1983.

Regional studios were opened in the 1970s and 1980s, including Sámi Radio (based in Karasjok ), which, together with Swedish and Finnish radio, supplies the Sami in northern Scandinavia with a program in the Sami language .

With the shutdown of VHF broadcasting in the province of Nordland on January 11, 2017 at 11:11 am, the gradual shutdown of VHF radio in Norway began; until December 13, 2017, the broadcast via FM was completely stopped.
