From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TV 2 is the largest commercial television station in Norway. Over 30% of the time Norwegians spend watching TV is spent watching TV 2. The station has 65% of the market for TV commercials in Norway.
TV 2 started to broadcast on 5 September 1992. They have a license to broadcast national commercial television until the end of 2009 for commercial terrestrial television. Their headquarters is located in Bergen. TV 2 has about 550 employees. In 1992, TV 2 A/S was admitted as full active member of the European Broadcasting Union. As is common with television (and cinema) in Norway, most foreign-language shows are subtitled in Norwegian, not dubbed (with a notable exception being children's programmes).
[edit] TV 2 HD
TV 2 started broadcasting in high-definition on June 25, 2009. Initially, the channel was only available on the terrestrial RiksTV platform. The first programme broadcast i HD was Allsang på grensen. Other broadcasts in HD during 2009 include Tour de France, Friday and Saturday movies, Sunday night football, Jakten på kjærligheten, Da damene dro, Skal vi danse and American series such as Greys Anatomy, Cleaners, Scrubs, Brothers & Sisters, Modern Family and Criminal Minds.[1]
When a programme isn't native HD, it is upscaled to 1080i.[2] Programmes shot with 4:3 aspect ratio get black bars on the sides, so called pillarbox.
