History
[edit]NRK 5.1 opened at 2pm on 12 October 2006. It was not available on the DAB platform at launch, but it hoped to launch there at a later date. Programming consisted largely of music and other formats, but was open to include radio dramas and documentaries.[1] NRK compared the experience to being "closer to a concert hall".[2] It was included as part of the finalised 16-channel digital radio package in 2007, but exclusively online.[3]
A decision was made in 2009 to close the station in the following year.[4]
