Norsk TV1

TV1 had a lot of own productions, including the talk show program Wesenstund with Rolv Wesenlund, which quickly became the channel's big attraction.

Later on premiere night, Rolv Wesenlund introduced his talk show program Wesenstund, with Kari Stokke at the grand piano.

The large proportion of in-house productions became an expensive element and was the reason why the channel ended up in financial incapacity after only a few months in operation.

TV1 failed mostly due to spending huge amounts of money on Norwegian productions without having the network to spread these broadcasts into most people's homes.

TVNorge succeeded by first broadcasting cheap imports and then supplementing with local productions.
