NRK Sápmi (previously, and with the radio station often still referred to as, NRK Sámi Radio) is a unit of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) that streams news and other programs in the Sámi languages for broadcast to the Sami people of Norway via radio, television, and internet. Regular radio news programs in Sami began in 1946, presented from Tromsø by the teacher Kathrine Johnsen (1917–2002), remembered today as "Sami Radio's Mother".[2]

In 1976, NRK Sámi Radio moved to Kárášjohka (Karasjok), and in 1984 to its current headquarters (also in Kárášjohka). NRK Sápmi has about 17 journalists based in Deatnu (Tana), Guovdageaidnu (Kautokeino), Olmmaivaggi in Gáivuotna, Tromsø, Tjeldsund, Hamarøy, Snåsa, and Oslo. Approximately 60 people are employed at the unit's headquarters.

The radio station is available nationwide on DAB,[3] and was broadcast on FM radio in Finnmark County and in the cities of Oslo and Tromsø before Norway's shutdown of national and major regional FM stations.

The station is also available on DAB in the general Longyearbyen area on Svalbard, 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 include Utsjoki, Karigasniemi, Nikel, Gäddede, Storlien, Charlottenberg, and Strömstad.[4]

## Podcasts

[edit]

Starting in 2018, online podcasts in Norway's 3 Sami languages first began production by NRK, including Sámi Horror and Hævvi.[5]

## TV productions

[edit]

NRK Sápmi does not have a standalone TV channel, and instead produces content for NRK's 3 main TV channels (excluding NRK Tegnspråk). The exact amount of content per day varies, but averages around 40 minutes per day across all channels combined.

* Ođđasat: All-Sápmi 15-minute Northern Sami newscast on NRK1 and NRK Sámi Radio on weekdays, also aired in Sweden and Finland.
* Mánáid-TV: Kids slot on NRK Super (Originally on NRK1) with original productions in Northern Sami and Southern Sami, and a select few imported cartoons dubbed in Northern Sami (e.g. Moominvalley (TV series), Cornel & Bernie, and previously The Amazing World of Gumball).
* Binnábannaš: Originally designed for NRK Super as a Sami counterpart to the Norwegian-speaking preschool character Fantorangen, the show later became a showpiece for Sami languages, with narrated versions in 5 Sami languages.
* Pulk: Mature surrealist live-action comedy show about mental clinic patients, originally aired on NRK3.
* Studio Sápmi: Cultural talkshow on NRK1.
* Sámi Grand Prix: Loosely modelled on Melodi Grand Prix, but with multiple contest categories. Does not grant spots in the Eurovision Song Contest.
* Melkeveien: Produced a Northern Sami-narrated version of the originally Norwegian-language show. Originally the Sami version would air its episodes on NRK2 on a 3-day delay after the Norwegian-language version, as alternate digital audio tracks were not (and still aren't as of November 2023) used on NRK channels.
