The '''Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation''' ({{langx|no|Norsk rikskringkasting||Norwegian Realm's Broadcasting|links=no}}), commonly known by its initialism '''NRK''', is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] state-run, government-influenced<ref>{{cite web |title=Kringkastingsrådet (Broadcasting Council) |publisher=NRK |access-date=2025-01-15 |url=https://info.nrk.no/kontakt/kringkastingsradet/?/referat-fra-moter-i-kringkastingsradet}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://snl.no/NRK| title=NRK | date=10 September 2024 | publisher=SNL |access-date=2025-01-15}} The editor-in-chief and company director "is appointed by NRK's board of directors, which is again appointed by the Ministry of Culture".</ref> radio and television [[public broadcasting]] company.

The NRK broadcasts three national TV channels and thirteen national radio channels on digital terrestrial television, digital terrestrial radio and subscription television. They also offer an [[Over-the-top media service|online]] [[video on-demand]] and [[podcast]] [[Streaming media|streaming service]], and produce [[Online newspaper|online]] and [[News broadcasting|broadcast news]].

The NRK is a founding member of the [[European Broadcasting Union]] and a member of the [[Norwegian Press Association]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nrk.no/about/ |title=About NRK – information in other languages |date=26 March 2014 |publisher=Nrk.no |access-date=2014-05-17 |archive-date=2014-05-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527114410/http://www.nrk.no/about/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Financing==
Until the start of 2020, about 94% of NRK's funding came from a mandatory annual [[television licence|licence fee]] payable by anyone who owns or uses a TV or device capable of receiving TV broadcasts. The remainder came from commercial activities such as programme and DVD sales, spin-off products, and certain types of sponsorships. NRK's license income in 2012 was more than 5 billion [[Norwegian krone|NOK]]. In the autumn of 2015, the government announced that it planned to change the way NRK is financed. This was in part a reaction to the decline of TV ownership in Norway. From the start of 2020, NRK funding is an item in the national budget and the costs are covered through taxation for each individual liable for income taxes in Norway.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ny finansiering av NRK – spørsmål og svar|url=https://www.nrk.no/informasjon/ny-finansiering-av-nrk-_-sporsmal-og-svar-1.14681657|url-status=live|website=NRK|date=2 September 2019|language=nb|access-date=12 April 2021|archive-date=18 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418154142/https://www.nrk.no/informasjon/ny-finansiering-av-nrk-_-sporsmal-og-svar-1.14681657}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Tyholttårnet_i_Trondheim_2021.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Tyholttårnet|NRK television tower]] in [[Trondheim]]]]
{{Lang|no|[[Kringkastingsselskapet]] A/S}}, a privately owned company and the predecessor of NRK, started regular radio broadcasts in Norway in 1925. NRK itself was founded in 1933. Based on a model similar to that of the [[BBC]] and located in [[Oslo]], it was a replacement for privately operated radio stations in larger cities. NRK initially set out to cover the entire country and had a monopoly on broadcasting in Norway. The monopoly came under intense pressure when Norwegian TV companies began broadcasting from abroad in addition to international cable TV. [[Cable television|Cable TV]] started in 1982 and [[Satellite television|satellite TV]] in 1986 (the launch of [[TV3 (Norway)|TV3]] in 1987 and [[TVNorge]] in 1988). It was not until the launch of [[TV 2 (Norway)|TV 2]] on 5 September 1992, that NRK's monopoly on television broadcasting in Norway ended.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}

During the [[Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany|Nazi German occupation]], Norwegian transmitters were used to broadcast [[Nazi propaganda|Nazi German war propaganda]] to Northern Europe (particularly [[Scotland]] and the northern half of Ireland, where the sea path ensured a good signal) and [[Scandinavia]].

Prior to the Nazi German occupation, NRK had also been partly financed by radio commercials.

NRK was one of 23 founding broadcasting organisations of the [[European Broadcasting Union]],<ref>{{Cite web|last=Yumpu.com|title=O r g a n is a tio n s - Nrk|url=https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/4264515/o-r-g-a-n-is-a-tio-n-s-nrk|access-date=2021-12-23|website=yumpu.com|language=en|archive-date=2021-12-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223071255/https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/4264515/o-r-g-a-n-is-a-tio-n-s-nrk|url-status=live}}</ref> which was founded in 1950. In 1954, NRK started broadcasting television shows, on a trial basis. Regular broadcasts started in 1960.

In 1969, NRK adopted a new version of its corporate logo which consists of the lowercased "nrk" wordmark that has the letter "n" being made up of a rectangle and a reversed-italic rectangle, the letter "r" being made up of a rectangle and a circle, and the letter "k" being made up of a rectangle and reflecting-mirrored italic rectangles.{{fact|date=October 2022}}

NRK was the last of the major European public broadcasters to introduce a second radio station,{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} officially starting as late as 1984. In 1993, NRK launched a third radio station, the youth-oriented ''[[NRK P3|P3]]''. A 24-hour station for classical music, {{Lang|no|Alltid Klassisk}} (now called "[[NRK Klassisk]]"), introduced in 1995, was the first of its kind to be broadcast digitally using [[digital audio broadcasting]]. The 24-hour news station ''[[NRK Alltid Nyheter|Alltid Nyheter]]'' started in 1997, followed by a radio station for teenagers, ''mP3'' in 2000, which mostly plays pop music.

On 1 September 1996, a second television channel called [[NRK2]] was launched. The original television channel is now known as [[NRK1]]. On 3 September 2007, NRK launched its third channel: a youth channel called [[NRK3]]. Later that year, on 1 December, NRK launched its fourth television channel, [[NRK Super]], which is aimed at children. [[NRK3]] and [[NRK Super]] share the same channel, with NRK Super broadcasting from 06:00 to 19:30 and NRK3 from 19:30 to 06:00.

In 2000, following NRK Interaktiv's relaunch as NRK.no, NRK redesigned its corporate logo (that was introduced in 1969), so that it could be similar to its old version. This new version of NRK's corporate logo made its first appearance in an ident in 2001 by making its overhaul to NRK's radio and television channels.

A traditional music radio station, ''NRK'' {{Lang|no|Alltid folkemusikk}} (now known as "[[NRK Folkemusikk]]") was launched in 2004 on DAB and internet radio.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}

NRK's international radio transmissions, known as {{Lang|no|Utenlandssendingen}}, began [[shortwave]] transmission in 1948. Initially broadcasting in Norwegian, English-language programs were added later. The service was discontinued on 1 January 2002. All NRK broadcasting activities on shortwave ceased on 1 January 2004.  NRK's [[mediumwave]] transmitter at [[Kvitsøy]] on 1314 [[kilohertz|kHz]] used to be widely heard internationally and was one of the most commonly heard trans-Atlantic [[MW DX|DX]] signals in eastern North America. The frequency carried a mixture of NRK's radio channels P1 and P2, and was called {{Lang|no|Europakanalen}} ({{Literal translation|''The Europe Channel''}}). However, these mediumwave transmissions were discontinued on 1 July 2006.

All of NRK's [[Internet radio|radio stations]] are now available on the internet. Several of NRK's [[Internet television|television programmes]] are also available on the internet.

On 16 April 2015, the Norwegian [[Ministry of Culture (Norway)|Ministry of Culture]] announced its intention to eventually switch off all FM transmitters in the country, with the first such transmitter expected to be switched off on 11 January 2017, therefore making Norway the first country in the world to completely transition to [[digital radio]]. According to the Ministry of Culture, the decision was justified because transmitting through the FM network was eight times more expensive than transmitting through digital audio broadcasting, and because only five national radio stations are transmitting on FM, compared to the 42 digital radio stations allocated in Norway, with 22 stations transmitting on the latter. NRK Radio is expected to transition from FM to digital radio before commercial radio stations do so.<ref>{{cite web|title=Norway announces nationwide FM radio shut-off|date=19 April 2015|publisher=Venturebeat|url=https://venturebeat.com/2015/04/19/norway-announces-nationwide-fm-radio-shut-off/|access-date=2015-04-26|archive-date=2015-04-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150421024758/http://venturebeat.com/2015/04/19/norway-announces-nationwide-fm-radio-shut-off/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Norway will lead the effort to switch off FM radio|date=19 April 2015 |publisher=[[Engadget]]|url=https://www.engadget.com/2015/04/19/norway-drops-fm-radio-in-2017/|access-date=2015-04-26|archive-date=2015-04-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150425235239/http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/19/norway-drops-fm-radio-in-2017/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=FM radio switch-off looms in Norway|work=[[BBC News]]|date=20 April 2015|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32380222|access-date=2015-04-26|archive-date=2015-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150422191635/http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32380222|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Criticism and controversies==
===2019 NRK Facebook controversy ===
In July 2019, a cartoon produced and posted on NRK’s Facebook page was widely panned for antisemitism. It featured an orthodox Jew participating in a game of [[Scrabble]], where his opponent is hesitant to lay down his point-scoring yet deeply offensive word {{Lang|no|jødesvin}} ({{Literal translation|Jew swine}}).<ref>{{cite web |author=Hanne Christiansen |title=NRK-video med jødespøk vekker sterke reaksjoner i sosiale medier |url=https://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/i/QoE7mx/NRK-video-med-jodespok-vekker-sterke-reaksjoner-i-sosiale-medier |website=Aftenposten |date=17 July 2019 |access-date=10 April 2020 |language=nb-NO}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=JTA |title=UK Jewish leaders condemn Norway broadcaster which aired 'Jewish swine' cartoon |url=https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/uk-jewish-leaders-condemn-norway-broadcaster-which-aired-jewish-swine-cartoon/ |date=22 July 2019 |work=Jewish News |access-date=10 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.timesofisrael.com/norways-state-broadcaster-airs-jewish-swine-cartoon/|title = Norway's state broadcaster airs 'Jewish swine' cartoon|website = [[The Times of Israel]]|access-date = 3 March 2023|archive-date = 3 March 2023|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230303033616/https://www.timesofisrael.com/norways-state-broadcaster-airs-jewish-swine-cartoon/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/norge/2019/07/19/195595553/nrk-kritiseres-for-jodevits|title=NRK kritiseres for jødevits|date=July 19, 2019|lang=nb|access-date=3 March 2023|archive-date=3 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230303032112/https://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/norge/2019/07/19/195595553/nrk-kritiseres-for-jodevits|url-status=live}}</ref> The network received over 300 complaint letters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/klagestorm-etter-jodesvin-sketsj/71424327|title=Klagestorm etter "jødesvin"-sketsj|date=July 23, 2019|lang=nb|access-date=3 March 2023|archive-date=3 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230303035134/https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/klagestorm-etter-jodesvin-sketsj/71424327|url-status=live}}</ref> NRK denied accusations of antisemitism, but removed the description "tag a Jew" from the video.
