Radio Nova (Norway)
Encyclopedia
Radio Nova is a non-commercially run student radio situated and broadcasting in Oslo
, Norway
, at FM 99,3. The radio is run by a team of volunteer journalists and technicians.
The station went on-air for the first time March 16, 1982, as Norway's first non-Christian, local radio station.
Today, the station broadcasts 60 hours a week between 40 programs. In the course of a week there is a range of different programmes; debates, programs that deal with film, the sciences, literature, music, culture and social questions.
Together with the rest of Norway's student radio stations, Radio Nova introduced a shared endeavor to further the cause of independent/alternative music: a national student radio play-list. The student stations in the three biggest university towns (Oslo
, Bergen
, and Trondheim
) have in cooperation put together the list, but with the expectation it will be played by smaller student stations throughout the country.
