Television House

Television House is a modernist production facility located at the NRK headquarters in Marienlyst, designed with clean architectural lines and functional spaces. The structure houses broadcasting studios, control rooms, and office areas that support daily television program creation.

Architect Nils Holter designed this building, which opened in 1969 as television production expanded rapidly across Norway. The structure reflected the country's commitment to developing modern broadcasting facilities during that era.

The building served as the creative hub for Norwegian television for generations, shaping what audiences across the country saw and heard in their homes. Today it remains central to how Norwegians experience news and entertainment.

Access to the building is generally available through organized group tours that provide insight into broadcast operations. Visitors should book ahead and be prepared for a working environment where photography may be restricted in certain areas.

The building connects directly to the older Broadcasting House, creating an integrated media complex where television and radio operations share the same physical space. This direct connection allowed staff to move between departments and coordinate production in ways that shaped how Norwegian media evolved.
