TVNorge (originally abbreviated TVN, now just abbreviated N in the logos; i.e. "TVNorway") is a Norwegian television channel.
TVNorge went on the air December 5, 1988 and was the first advertising-supported Norwegian channel. Originally TVNorge broadcast via satellite and cable, later they have affiliated several local television broadcasters, who in addition to some local programming also broadcast TVNorge's programs.
TVNorge is wholly owned by ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG.
In 2003 Novell sued TVNorge at The Court of Enforcement (Namsretten) and asked for a temporary injunction against TVNorge as they found the logo too similar to their own. Novell did not seem to proceed to a full court case after losing their case there.
TVNorge launched Norway's first High Definition simulcast on their main channel October 3, 2008, and starting 2009 TVNorge will also be broadcasting own productions in HD.
