History

Kanal 24 got the license for the so-called "FM4" network in 2003, which since 1994 had previously been occupied by P4. The Minister of Culture, Valgerd Svarstad Haugland presented the new station, which at that time was called "Kanal4" as the winner of the "FM4"-license. P4 later received the license for the so-called "FM5" network. Because of this, Kanal 24 took over the frequencies used previously by P4, while the latter got new, previously unused frequencies.

Kanal 24 had a rough start. Partially because of P4 who claimed their original name was too similar, and P4 also shut down their old transmitters before Kanal 24 went on the air at January 1 2004. Heavy investors in Kanal 24 where TV 2, Fædrelandsvennen and Adresseavisen, who have since sold out.
