NRK regional services

For the purpose of regional broadcasting on NRK, Norway is divided into 14 districts. 13 of these districts follow county boundaries and provide services in the Norwegian language, while one overlaps the other districts and provides services in the Sami languages. Each district includes one district office that functions as a regional headquarters. Furthermore, most districts also have a number of small local offices subordinate to the district office.[1]

Regional broadcasting output generally comes from the district offices, though some of the local offices are also capable of producing a limited amount of programming. Regional services include the following radio and TV output:[2]

Radio

NRK's P1 radio channel carries regional programming on Mondays to Fridays from 6.03 to 9.00 local time (including national news summaries on the hour and half hour) and from 14.03 to 17.00 (with national news at 15.00 and 16.00), as well as two-minute regional news updates each hour from 9.03 to 16.03 inclusive. On Saturdays there are two-minute regional bulletins at 8.03, 9.03, and 10.03. These programmes come from 15 different regional centres (including one for the capital).

P1 is broadcast digitally (via DAB+ and satellite) as well as being available on cable and via the internet. Analogue broadcasting on FM – hitherto the channel's main method of transmission – is gradually being withdrawn during 2017.[3]

Television

NRK1 carries regional news on Mondays to Fridays at 18.45–19.00 and on Mondays to Thursdays at 20.55–21.00. Except during the summer holiday period, all 11 regional news programmes are repeated nationwide in a 150-minute sequence on NRK2 overnight as well as in the later part of the following morning. The number of regional television newscasts in Norwegian is 11 since the Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane districts as well as the Finnmark and Troms districts cooperate to produce shared newscasts.
