Erik Bye

Erik Bye

Erik Erikssønn Bye (1 March, 1926 – 13 October, 2004) was a Norwegian journalist and artist, and one of the 20th century's most well-known and popular radio and television personalities in Norway.

Born in Brooklyn, New York to Rønnaug (nee Dahl) and opera singer Erik Ole Bye, his family moved home to Norway when he was six years old. After a few years in Ringerike they settled in the Nordstrand in Oslo, where they took over a bed and breakfast. In his teens, Bye joined the Norwegian resistance movement during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany during World War II. Following the war, he returned to the United States for his university education, studying English, journalism and drama at Midland Lutheran College, Nebraska and the University of Wisconsin in Madison. During his studies he also traveled extensively throughout the United States, taking odd jobs and gathering impressions.

In 1953, Bye took his first job as a reporter with the Associated Press and as a freelancer for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. In 1955, he moved to London and worked three years at the BBC Overseas Services as an apprentice to Anthony Martin.

Bye married Tove Billington Jørgensen in 1953.
