NRK Sápmi (previously, and with the radio station often still referred to asNRK Sámi Radio) is a unit of theNorwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) that streams news and other programs in theSámi languages for broadcast to theSami people ofNorway via radio, television, and internet.
NRK Sápmi has about 17 journalists based inDeatnu (Tana),Guovdageaidnu (Kautokeino), Olmmaivaggi inGáivuotna,Tromsø,Tjeldsund,Hamarøy,Snåsa, andOslo. Approximately 60 people are employed at the unit's headquarters.
The radio station is available nationwide onDAB[2] and was broadcast on FM radio inFinnmark County and in the cities ofOslo andTromsø before Norway's shutdown of national and major regional FM stations.
The station is also available on DAB in the generalLongyearbyen area ofSvalbard and in the radio sections on some digital TV providers. Due to distance limitations with DAB+ technology, signal spillovers into neighbouring countries are very small; according to official Norwegian signal charts, spillover villages supposedly includeUtsjoki,Karigasniemi,Nikel,Gäddede,Storlien,Charlottenberg, andStrömstad.[3]
Regular radio news programs in Sami began in 1946, presented fromTromsø by the teacherKathrine Johnsen (1917–2002), remembered today as "Sami Radio's Mother".[4]
In 1976, NRK Sámi Radio moved toKárášjohka (Karasjok) and in 1984 to its current headquarters (also in Kárášjohka).
In 2018, NRK first began production on online podcasts in three of Norway's Sámi languages, includingSámi Horror andHævvi.[5]
NRK Sápmi does not have a standalone TV channel. Instead, it produces content for NRK's three main TV channels (excludingNRK Tegnspråk). The exact amount of content varies but averages around 40 minutes daily across all channels combined.
NRK Sápmi broadcasts 246 hours of TV, 1754 of FM-radio, and 6545 hours on digital radio (DAB)/inline radio per year (2012).
