Statistics Norway has been conducting annual surveys of media use since 1991 (with the exception of 1993). The surveys are financed mainly by the Ministry of Culture. The objective is to map the Norwegian population's use of different mass media.
In 2022 the survey was redesigned and the data is not strictly comparable to previous years. The survey sample was doubled in size and persons aged 80 years and older were included. This change may influence the results because elderly people more often prefer legacy media. Additionally, the survey was conducted online instead of by phone interview and the questionnaire has gone through several changes.
Here you can find data documenting access to a TV set at home among the Norwegian population. Data are given as a share of the population in percent. From 2010 onwards data can be broken down by sex and age.
