100 years of broadcasting in change

This year is 100 years since we got regular radio broadcasts. Another anniversary this year is that it is 20 years since YouTube was launched during the slogan "Broadcast Yourself" - broadcast yourself. How have radio and TV habits changed in recent years with digitalisation, streaming and networks? And what is the function of the TV media in our time, based on NRK as a public broadcaster?

The Broadcasting Company A/S started its broadcasts on April 29, 1925 from the brothers Hals' piano factory in Oslo. Several cities followed with radio broadcasts funded by advertising. In 1933, all broadcasting was taken over by the state MD NRK. The monopoly lasted until the local radios came in 1981 and nationwide advertising radio came with P4 in 1993.

Over the past decade, digitalisation, streaming and networks have led to major changes in broadcasting. Radio has been digitized with DAB as the only nationwide network from 2017, podcast has become the new radio stove for many and television has gone from being a linear, direct and at the same time experience for the whole country to streaming what we ourselves want when it suits us best . In today's lecture, we will especially hear about the position of TV media in our time-as a window to the world, entertain, friend and common arena.

Vilde Schanke Sundet is associate professor at the Department of Journalism and Media Studies, OsloMet. She is researching changes in the media industry, media policy and the audience/fans, and she is an expert on TV.
