Talk:NRK

Spelling of the name

I moved "Norsk Rikskringkasting" to "Norsk rikskringkasting", but someone moved it back. The name of the broadcasting corporation is stated in the Norwegian Broadcasting Act as "Norsk rikskringkasting", and the organization spells the name with a small r itself.

Yikes, that's quite a mouthful for non-Norwegians. Could we not just call the article Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation? Drutt 01:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

That's rubbish. Would you call an article about CBS in Norwegian Wikipedia "Columbia rikskringkasting" or Microsoft "Mikroveik"? --88.77.29.59 10:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

@IP: You said it right. You can move "Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation" back to "Norsk Rikskringkasting".--92.73.207.36 (talk) 17:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The history of this article seems to indicate that there was a (discussion-less?) "cut-and-paste move" to the current title in June 2007, followed by some remedial tidy-ups from other editors.

As far as I am concerned, it is a pity that the article was ever moved from Norsk rikskringkasting: that is the name of the organization, and there is no such entity as the "Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation" – which is no more than an English-language paraphrase. If the names of such broadcasters as Bayerischer Rundfunk, Český rozhlas, France Télévisions, Kol Yisrael, and Radio Telefís Éireann don't need this translation/paraphrase-in-the-title treatment, why should it be applied to NRK? -- Picapica (talk) 13:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Norsk rikskringkasting AS is the legal name of the organisation, however, it is usually known as NRK, not as Norsk rikskringkasting AS. Also, the NRK uses Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation as its English name (http://www.nrk.no/about/). The title should either be NRK or Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The use of the name Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in English has a long tradition (since the 1930s). Traveller Bort (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

The name Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (and its Norwegian counterpart) is actually based on the name of the BBC, which is the reason the NRK calls itself the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in English and has done so since 1933. Olkmoo (talk) 02:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

The NRK itself uses "Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation" as it's English Name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.24.97 (talk) 19:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Financing

"license fee for each person who is in possession of a TV". This is correct, but not the whole truth. The licence fee is for each household in possession of one or more TV signal recievers, which means TV's, DVD players, various tuners, computers with TV cards etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.116.80 (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation → NRK – Yes, NRK already redirects to the article, and that Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation is an official English name, but NRK as an acronym is the broadcasters official name, and is probably known more as. From Google 'NRK' gets 56,000,000 results and 'Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation' gets 6,460,000 (Unfortunately Google does not show these numbers when searching for English only)

On the BBC, 'NRK' gets 1,810 and 'Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation' gets 49  [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 01:02, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose, it seems more sensible to me to present the English name of the company for non-native readers. The individual channels should retain names like NRK1, NRK2, NRK P1 and so on, though. Geschichte (talk) 14:40, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose "Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation" is the official English name of the company. Articles on organizations should not be located at initialism unless that is the official name of the organization. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Is that your opinion, or is it a Wikipedia-policy that says that? If you tell me what policy you are referring to, I'll change my !vote below. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm confused, you say "Articles on organizations should not be located at initialism unless that is the official name of the organization", but NRK is the official initialism of the organisation and has been used decades. -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 20:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Support - per WP:NAME, article titles are based on what the subject is called in reliable English-language sources. When BBC uses NRK 39 times more often than Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, I believe that the other English-language sources do the same. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
• Support - per WP:COMMONNAME. Based on Mentoz86 above, it is more common to use the NRK name instead of the full name. This would be consistent with American broadcasters like NBC. Also per WP:NAME the legal or official or full name is not necessarily the correct article name. Tiggerjay (talk) 23:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
• Support. Seems to be the more common name in English sources.Cúchullain ^t/c 16:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

HD section problems

The HD section has some technical errors in. For example: "H.264 ... also known as MPEG4". MPEG4 is a alternative codec although the author could mean mp4 which is a container format which can use either. Additionally it says "BitTorrent and uTorrent". uTorrent is a client for BitTorrent so anything that is available through BiTorrent should also be available through, for example, qTorrent.

Merge from Herreavdelingen and Norsktoppen

There is little evidence that those programs have stand-alone notabilty. Merge might be preferable to outright deletion. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Support merge; unreferenced stubs which can readily form sections, perhaps withing a programmes or former programmes section. Klbrain (talk) 19:35, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

• Strong oppose, it would be horrible to have individual programs as sections in this article. And illogical to single out a couple of programs under a "former programs" header. NRK have shown and aired (on tv and radio) thousands of programs. Geschichte (talk) 19:40, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose per above. BengkelBerkah05 (Talks/Contribs) 09:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit: Support for Herreavdelingen, but oppose for Norsktoppen. BengkelBerkah05 (Talks/Contribs) 04:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

• Support deletion I would suggest including radio programs in List of programs broadcast by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation or to make a list about radio programs broadcast by NRK. I, however, agree that those programs are not notable enough to warrant their own individual articles. 84.209.28.188 (talk) 07:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
