NRK2

NRK2 (pronounced as "NRK to") is one of the television channels of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). It was launched on 1 September 1996.

== History == The channel started its regular broadcasts on 1 September 1996, but on the evening before, a live simulcast, led by Trond-Viggo Torgersen, was broadcast on both NRK1 and NRK2. On its first regular broadcast day, around 880,000 people watched the channel during its first evening. From the start, the channel was to be youth-oriented and had people between the ages of 15 and 35 as its target group. For the first eleven years, before the channel changed its profile, culture, entertainment and music programs were mainly broadcast. The target audience was part of NRK's efforts to broaden its remit and to fight the rising influence of TV2. The channel was officially called "NRK TO" until 4 September 2000.
