NRK Klassisk (originally "NRK Alltid Klassisk") was launched in Oslo on 1 June 1995 as the world's first all-digital radio station (DAB), broadcasting 24 hours a day.

Right from the start, the channel was in operation 24 hours a day with a staff of six, in a totally digital programme chain from production via DAB transmitter to receiver.

BMS made it possible to prerecord announcements through a digital mixer, together with jingles and background atmosphere, on the computer hard disk and to manage playback together with music recordings from CD and digital audio tape (DAT).

NRK Klassisk staff broadcast morning programmes live.

For the rest of the day and night, the system is programmed in shifts, so that the playlists are broadcast automatically.
