For many years the licence fee in Norway has been linked to ownership of a television. This will all change from 2020.
Norway abolishes the licence fee and will finance the public broadcaster NRK via the State Budget. In the governmental proposal NRK will receive 5,7 billion kroner in 2020, around 570 million euros, for producing radio, television and online material.
The Minister of Culture, Trine Skei Grande says: - It is important to make sure the financing of an independent NRK will work in the future. This model will be more socially correct than the licence fee.
The licence fee has been unpopular, because every household has to pay the same amount no matter what income they have. Financing over the State Budget means that everyone will pay for NRK relative to income and how much taxes they pay.
In recent years fewer people in Norway has bought and owned a television, because many Norwegians, especially young people, no longer watch linear TV and instead uses a laptop or a mobile to stream content online. Hence fewer people has paid for NRK.
