Norway’s free-to-air (FTA) TV reception was shut down at the end of the 2000s first decade. Since then, and like in most other Nordic markets, all TV viewers are virtually paid subscribers. Accompanying the development of FTTx infrastructures across the country, IPTV has become the leading TV access. The pay TV penetration over Norwegian households is now above 100% due to the development of multiple standalone online pay TV offers by telcos and broadcasters along, Egmont’s TV2 Sumo, Discovery’s DPlay and Riks TV’s recently launched platform Strim.
This report provides comprehensive data sets related to the market structure, evolution of subscribers and revenues, leading companies and trends observed in the country.
