This should be an easy proposition, to find free Norwegian radio that broadcasts live,
with people speaking Norwegian, no music, no English, no rubbish, no sound background things like the ocean waves that gets played on Sveriges Radio at night, but I have big problems trying to find this. Right now, I chose "Alltid Nyheter" on NRK Radio, and the whole thing is BBC World Service. Example, NRK Alltid Nyheter and you get more than 10 straight hours of BBC World Service, all in English, why this is even on NRK is beyond me, but I do not listen to radio in my target language to hear my native language for 10 hours. Meanwhlist, NRK Radio Trøms, one of my favourite regions, has a bunch of music playing, and annoyingly, music in English. Now I know that the level of English is extremely high in Norway that they can listen to BBC live, but for a native Anglophone trying to get Norwegian radio news, this is quite obviously completely useless. Any Norwegians know radio stations that broadcast 24-hour outsendings of Norwegian radio with actual speaking, regardless of what time it is, and also is not blocked outside of Norway? Takk!

I'm not aware of any Norwegian radio channel clinically free from music, other languages or
various non-speech mumbo jumbo. However, a lot of the programs on the various channels are speech only, so you could single them out. You can access podcasts with the various program series gathered on this site: http://www.nrk.no/podkast/. The programs are sorted by the channels on which they are broadcast. For instance, Dagsnytt (daily news) on P1 is broadcast every hour or so every day, and it's all gathered on the podcast. I can especially recommend Dagsnytt 18 on P2, for the most in depth news and actuality magazine you'll find. There's also plenty of humor or cultural shows on there, if you would rather like to listen to those. Tell me how this turns out. I'm starting to learn Spanish now, and would like to do the same thing, so if you know any good sources, I would love to hear about it. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

NRK P2 should be ok for most of the day. But you won't get anything useful during the night
on any channel, except maybe P3 Radioresepsjonen, but they just send old episodes in a loop. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I suppose that that might be the problem; I am only available mostly from 23h00 to 10h00
the next day in Norway time. My peak hours are probably around 04h00 Norway time. I suppose that that may seem like an odd schedule, but nevertheless, some of the stuff on the radio in the madrugada hours is quite terrible, i.e. Anglophone music or dance music (fine for the clubs, but not for an Anglophone Norwegian learner sitting at a desk) or English conversations. I am browsing TuneIn Radio right now, NRK P2 have flute music on for over 10 minutes straight... Edited by 1e4e6 on 09 January 2015 at 12:09am 1 person has voted this message useful |
