NRK P3

NRK P3 is the youth-oriented channel of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), the country's public broadcaster. It plays new popular music, with a strong emphasis on Norwegian artists alongside international acts, and mixes the music with talk programmes and youth culture content.

P3 started in 1993 and is part of NRK's national radio line-up, which is funded through public means and free of advertising. The channel is presented in Norwegian and is aimed mainly at younger listeners, though its audience is broader. A related NRK service, mP3, offers a similar music selection without hosts, while this stream carries the hosted P3 programming.

Expect fresh releases, new talent, hosted shows and features on music and current topics, with the tone and presentation geared toward a young, urban audience. As a public service channel it carries no commercials, and its news and information content follows NRK's editorial principles. This stream is a high-quality MP3 feed at 192 kbps in stereo, delivered over HTTPS from NRK's content delivery network, and the broadcaster's main site is nrk.no.
