Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa (literally Radio Greenland, usually referred to as The Greenlandic Broadcasting Corporation or KNR) is the national public broadcasting corporation of Greenland, based in the country's capital city, Nuuk.

It is an independent state-owned corporation headed by a seven-person board. Its activities are funded from a mixture of sources, including direct government funding and on-air advertising.

KNR provides one national television station and one national radio station. The radio station operates mostly in the Greenlandic language (Kalaallisut) but also in Danish. The television schedule consists of a mix of locally produced programmes, news in Kalaallisut, plus the main news bulletins and some other programmes from Danmarks Radio (DR) in Copenhagen. A second radio channel relays DR output directly but is available only in the capital, Nuuk.

Local commercial television stations can be found in several Greenlandic towns. Some stations are Nuuk TV and Sisimiut TV. Local television stations gathered in the organization STTK
