Norsk TV1

Norsk TV1 was a Norwegian television station. Norsk TV1 started in 1989. It was focused on Norwegian shows and films, and produced a lot of entertainment shows for its weekend programming. Norsk TV1 had its first test broadcasts in December 1988, but did not start with regular broadcasts until February 1989. Norsk TV1 was advertising-financed and was owned by Orkla. It was the second private Norwegian channel to be established in Norway after TVNorge in 1988. It was closed down in June 1989 due to financial problems and was taken over by TVNorge. TV1 had a lot of own productions, including the talk show program Wesenstund with Rolv Wesenlund, which quickly became the channel's big attraction. This program re-emerged on TVNorge in 1994.
