NRK P1

NRK P1 is one of three nationwide digital radio channels operated by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). It is the result of the NRK radio channel reform initiated in 1993 by radio director Tor Fuglevik.

NRK P1 is the direct descendant of NRK's first radio station which began broadcasting in 1933. P1's programming is aimed at a broad mature demographic and it is Norway's most popular radio station, with approximately 1.9 million listeners daily.

P1's headquarters are located in the Tyholt area of Trondheim and most of its programmes are made there, except for news broadcasts which are produced, together with some other programming, at Broadcasting House in Marienlyst, Oslo.

With its 1176 FM transmitters using 124 different frequencies, NRK P1 is the largest radio network in Europe.[1] However, all NRK's radio stations are gradually digitized during 2017 and be transmitted via DAB+ and internet.
