About

TV 2 Direkte History, Coverage, Features

TV2 Norway is a Norwegian television channel owned and operated by the Egmont Group. This channel was launched on November 13, 1991 as a test channel, but it would officially be launched on September 5, 1992 to become the first free-to-air channel in this country. 

Over the years, TV2 Norway has been categorized as a general information channel, with news, sports, entertainment, children’s programming, TV series, movies, and magazine shows being available on its programming. Just like in most Scandinavian countries, all foreign-language shows have been provided with Norwegian subtitles, with the only exception being children’s programming.

When it comes to sports, TV2 Norway has covered a wide range of disciplines, which have included football, handball, and Winter Olympics. Some of the most watched shows in this channel’s history have had something to do with sports, including UEFA Euro games and FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches. 

Speaking about football, TV2 Norway has been able to cover major tournaments such as FIFA World Cup Qualification games, UEFA Euro qualifying matches, friendly matches featuring the Norwegian National Football teams, and domestic leagues such as the Premier League, the Serie A, or the Allsvenskan. Coverage of those leagues may be shared with TV2 Sport’s channels, two sister networks that also belong to the same group.

TV2 Norway was launched as a Standard Definition channel, but a High-Definition feed saw the light on June 25, 2009. Both feeds may still be available for users to watch via pay-tv carriers across the country. Added to its availability in Norway, the channel may also be watched in Sweden via select pay-tv services.
