NRK Super is a Norwegian TV and radio channel aimed at children, run by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The TV channel is broadcast on the digital terrestrial network, officially from 06:30 to 19:30 (7:30pm), and was launched 1 December 2007. The NRK Super radio channel is broadcast on DAB radio 24/7 (having previously been on air from 06:00 to 21:00) and on internet radio, and was originally named NRK Barn (NRK Children in English). It was launched on 16 October 2007.
NRK Super also has a web community where children can sign up and play games that allow them to get their own profile and get friends online. Here also small children can visit the homepages of shows they have seen on TV, such like Fantorangen, Tøfferud (Chuggington), Komet Kameratene, and others. On some important days, NRK Super also broadcasts dramas and children's films.
Viasat and RiksTV broadcasts this channel as number 6, while Telenor Norway cable TV lists it as channel 3. As of November 2023, NRK Super officially signs on at 06:30 (having previously signed on at 07:00[3]) and switches to NRK3 at 19:30 (7:30pm). Traditionally, the channel would simulcast the NRK Super radio station from 04:00 (when NRK3's sign-off transitions to NRK Super's sign-off) to 07:00; however, starting at some point in the early 2020s, NRK Super would begin airing an unlisted randomised selection of its shows from 04:10-06:30, which don't show up in programme guides.
