NRK1 (pronounced as "NRK en" in Bokmål or "NRK ein" in Nynorsk) is the main television channel of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).
== History == Test broadcasts started on 12 January 1954, regular test broadcasts began on 13 April 1958, and regular broadcasts started on 20 August 1960, formally opened by King Olaf V. At the time, there were plans to increase its transmitter network to cover 80% of the country by 1970. The station in Oslo had been using the callsign LKO-TV (channel 6) as far back as its founding in 1954; when regular broadcasts began, the channel started broadcasting outside of Oslo, starting in August 1960 with transmitters in Bergen (channel 9) and Kongsberg (channel 4), then by late 1961, in Stavanger (channel 8) and Trondheim (channel 2). It is Norway's oldest and largest television channel and was the country's only free-to-air television channel until the launch of TV 2 in 1992.
