Programming

edit

NRK P3 focuses on youth culture: principally music, together with humour, entertainment, and health education.

Over the years NRK P3 has fostered entertainers including Thomas Numme, Steinar Sagen, Kristopher Schau, Kari Slaatsveen, Jørgen Strickert, Anne Lindmo and Espen Thoresen.

Its notable programs include P3 Sessions that airs own-produced concerts live. Started in 2003, it has an average of 100,000 listeners.

It was the traditional home of Radioresepsjonen until late 2010 (after which a single-season TV version was made for NRK3), and then from 2011-2014, after which the show was moved to NRK P13.

NRK mP3 is the dance music sister station to P3.[1][2] It is aimed towards younger listeners,[3] and does not carry any versions of the hourly Dagsnytt NRK short newscasts.

On 29 October 2021, the station teamed up with a number of stations in Europe, such as BBC Radio 1 in the UK and RTÉ 2fm in Ireland, to take part in the radio programme Europe's Biggest Dance Show.[4][5][6]

Similarly to NRK Alltid Nyheter, the station was available before 2017 on both FM and DAB+ in various urban areas, while it was only available on DAB+ in rural areas in the same timespan.
