To avoid similar problems as had occurred in the United States, the administration tried to limited manufacturers of radios from also owning the channels.

A scandal hit the broadcasting company in 1929, in which a new transmitter at Lambertseter in Oslo had insufficient power, and secondly following the discovery of management enriching themselves.

The former was caused by the Telegraphy Administration's not fully understanding the effects of radio transmission during design, and under-dimensioning the transmitter.

At first Minister of Trade and Industry Lars Oftedal proposed a model whereby the transmission would be the responsibility of the Telegraphy Administration, and a new, private program company would be established, owned by the Oslo newspapers.

By the time the issue was being voted over by Parliament, Mowinckel's Third Cabinet was in place, proposing that the budgetary responsibility lie with the broadcasting company, not the Telegraphy Administration.

The strategy was in part caused by low growth estimates and prioritizing constructing a broadcasting center at Marienlyst in Oslo.

[10] As a countermeasure against what was at the time characterized as the "Finnish danger",[11] and to reach out to the Sami and Kven population with Norwegian language and culture, a transmitter was established in Vardø in 1934.

[14] The following year the Telegraphy Administration introduced high frequency transmission lines between Oslo and the radio transmitters.

This was due to a higher political support in building broadcasting infrastructure combined with lower investment costs.

[19] In the late 1940s NRK used large resources in building a shortwave sender in Fredrikstad which could reach Norwegian abroad and especially seamen.

After the war there was initially consensus to reverse the decision,[18] but NRK and Minister Kaare Fostervoll decided to support the new arrangement.

[21] A commission led by Olaf Moe [no] considered three transmission techniques: physical distribution of film, coaxial cables and microwave radio relay.

A joint network, which could support television in the evenings and telephones during the day, was proposed, but disregarded by the Telegraphy Administration, stating the high costs.

As twenty percent of the population lacked acceptable radio coverage, NRK decided in 1953 to build FM transmitters in Western Norway and Agder to reach these areas.

One on top of Gaustatoppen would cover central Eastern Norway while the rest would be built in areas without acceptable AM coverage.

NRK rejected the plan, both because of the long time frame and because they wanted to prioritize Eastern Norway and Trøndelag, which had the most concentrated populations.

The Telegraphy Administration also proposed that cable radio be installed, in part because it would accelerate the construction of the telephone network.

This was largely used as a bargaining chip to either crate acceptance for the plan within the Telegraphy Administration, or allow NRK to take control over the construction of the transmission system.

[28] Construction of a television network started with a microwave radio relay in the super high frequency band.

The case ended in Fjordane District Court, which found in 2005 that Norkring was not liable to pay property tax.

[39] NRK, the TV 2 Group and Telenor started in 2001 negotiating establishing a digital terrestrial television network.

[41] Norkring estimated in 2003 that it would cost NOK 1 billion in investments over a period of 15 years to keep the analog television network running, which would limit transmission to four channels.

[45] The long political precessing time resulted in that MPEG-4 could be used for compression, allowing for more channels and better quality, and that all home boxes can support high definition.

The following year Norkring België was awarded the right for four additional multiplexes, of which one is for mobile television, and a digital radio license.

[48] Norkring was awarded a ten-year concession to operate Multiplex B (Mux B) in Slovenia by the Agency for Post and Electronic Communications on 19 December 2008.

[55] NRK stated that the longer overlap period, compared to that of television, would give significantly higher broadcasting costs.

[51] Norkring was awarded the second DAB multiplex in an auction held by the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Authority in 2012, where the company bid NOK 4 million.

[63] Norkring België operates 24 transmitter sites for FM, DAB, DAB+, DVB-T and DVB-T2 in Flanders and Brussels, of which ten are located on their own masts.

[49] DVB-T and DVB-T2 Broadcasting consists of three free-to-air channels: Eén, Canvas and Ketnet, all provided by the public VRT.

The later also broadcasts Vijf, Vier, Acht, National Geographic Channel, MTV, Kanaal Z [nl], Nickelodeon, Njam!
