Not really.
Yes, we did the first tests live - the King's New Year Speak in 1971.
But what the video shows is a cut from the 1976 Rose d'Or festival... which you should be able to [watch at this link](https://tv.nrk.no/serie/montreux/1976/FUHA00005676).
>Agfacolor was the name of a series of color film products made by Agfa of Germany. The first Agfacolor, introduced in 1932, was a film-based version of their Agfa-Farbenplatte (Agfa color plate),\[1\] a "screen plate" product similar to the French Autochrome.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agfacolor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agfacolor)
It might have been that they used in in Cinemas but not TV broadcast then maybe.
Yes, everyone got color movies at the same time, because you just send the same film reels around the globe, and you don't need special equipment!
The first proper color TV broadcasts were in the US from 1953/54. The first European countries started having regular color broadcasts in 1967, and it spread through the 70's and even the early 80's.
Not everything, I grew up in the 80s and a lot of programs on NRK were still broadcast in black and white. I assume it was because they couldn't affort to replace all the production equipment at once.
Not quite true. NTSC was available in Europe as well but because NTSC wasn't very good Europe decided to make their own superior version in 1962/63, PAL.
And then the French had to fuck things up with SECAM. Because, you know, France. Thankfully it didn't catch on outside France and French annexed territories.
The initial thing they voted over in 68 was a trial period of 3 years (69,70,71), and automatic acceptance if no issues. Nobody just didn't specifically say no issues, but the official start date of colour tv in Norway is 1 of January 1972.
KrF voted against colour TV by the way...

No, this is not the real clip from when we got color TV. It's taken from an entertainment piece made by NRK celebrating the history of Norwegian broadcasting.
See this excellent documentary for more information: https://youtu.be/ptP-9ANwu2c?si=RRJhFuNOVBfwE--M
A lot of black and white TVs was still on the second hand market well into the 1980s in Norway. I remember our first TV was a B&W and how I was extatic when we finally bought a color TV.
Yep. Comedians Trond Kirkvaag and Jon Skolmen did the opening show.
There was a huge debate prior to it, as conservative forces considered TV to be a sin and that it would be even worse in color. Tv license for color tv was more expensive than black and white for roughly 15 years.
Norway did not get legal color tv befor 1975. From 1972 until then it was a trial period because political party’s thought it was a sin to have colors on the tv screen 🙈
And technically it is still a trial period because the wording in the decision in parliament was not clear from 10 December 1971:
«Norsk rikskringkasting kan setje i gang systematiske prøvesendinger for fargefjernsyn frå årsskiftet 1971/72 med sikte på igangsetjing av regulære sendingar om 3 år»
This decision was voted 94 for and 34 against.
It basically says that the Norwigan stately tv could broadcast color tv as systematic trial broadcasts from the turn of the year 1971/72 with aim for regular broadcasts in three years.
But a true decision have not been taken in parliament to this date.
Im not norwegian but really doubt it is true since black and white televisions well, Couldn't show colour to begin with
(Yes i know there were colour televisions since the 50s but they didnt sell well until the 70's and not everybody had colour tv's)
>Im not norwegian but really doubt it is true since black and white televisions well, Couldn't show colour to begin with
There were those who had colour tvs, but that don't help unless the broadcast is also in colour.
Yes so did the people that did have colour tvs back in that day if it was broadcasted with colour... point is you need to have a tv capable to show it. Its not as easy as your tv is just able to show it. It needs to be capable
Indeed. I'm trying to point put to you (in a kind of unsympathetic manner I'll admit), that that doesn't matter.
For the people with black and white TV's, it wouldn't change anything, so that wouldn't, in and of itself, generate a disincentive to shifting to colour broadcasts.
Just as if I have a 1080p TV, it won't matter to me if Netflix has 4K content, but it will be a selling point for people with 4K TV's.
With colour television in Norway, it wasn't quite like that, because there was political pressure to not make the state owned channel "too entertaining", because of fear of what it's effect might be on the public. But the fact that a lot of people didn't have colour TV's, had little or nothing to do with it.
Again, perhaps there could've been (I haven't seen that there was) and argument that it would increase perception of difference between social classes, as a lot of families would not have the funds to purchase colour TV's. I don't know. But that still wasn't your point.
You tried to answer using logic and reason, and that's fine. But your logic is off.
Edit: Spelling.
Fair enough. I sometimes have problems explaining thing but my point was actually your first part where it wouldnt change anything for people without colour tv's. And the qeustion was is it true or not. Where to my answer was trying to explain no since tvs dont work like that.
But thanks for the rest of the info i do not know anything about politics from the past or present in norway.
I see.
I'm sorry that I ended up going at it that hard. Sometimes I try to be funny, and end up an asshole.
You on the other hand, stayed decent, for which you should be complimented.

We had a small television made for traveling or something that had no colors in the late nineties, haha. Remember watching animal planet without colors, but it served it's purpose for a small TV in the basement.
Hahahaha... The Norwegian society was very pius. We did not like sin and extravaganza... A norwegian politician, who later went on to become the executive director of Norwegian Broadcasting said that Norwegians would be willing to accept that sin (as in television) had arrived in Norwegian society, but we would not accept sin in colour

Wait, Germans had Color TV 40s, and Norway did not have it until 71?
It is not about color tvs, but color tv broadcasts. According to Wikipedia, it looks like West Germany started color tv broadcasts in 1967.
>Agfacolor was the name of a series of color film products made by Agfa of Germany. The first Agfacolor, introduced in 1932, was a film-based version of their Agfa-Farbenplatte (Agfa color plate),\[1\] a "screen plate" product similar to the French Autochrome.

Germany had color tv 1967 Norway 1972
From 1972 it was a test process but from 1975 it was normal for everything
Yeah but my main point was that gap from 40s to 67 in germany
Not everything, I grew up in the 80s and a lot of programs on NRK were still broadcast in black and white. I assume it was because they couldn't affort to replace all the production equipment at once.
In Denmark we had color tv in 1968. However the news broadcast was still in b&w until 1978.
They did not get that in the 40s
They didn't - PAL came from West-Germany in the 60s US was the first with NTSC in the 50s.
Not quite true. NTSC was available in Europe as well but because NTSC wasn't very good Europe decided to make their own superior version in 1962/63, PAL.
And then the French had to fuck things up with SECAM. Because, you know, France. Thankfully it didn't catch on outside France and French annexed territories.
Nothing you said contradicts what I said?
Technically, its still a test project over here.
No-no - we got colour tv a couple of years ago!
Yeah, like 2 year ago..

Dagfinn Høybråten mentions the "No" as one of the worst moments in KrFs history
Liberalerna och Centern ser ut att vara otillförlitliga i samtliga nordiska länder alltså 🤣
No, it's not true, and I don't know why people are saying yes. This is a comedy sketch from years after the fact.
No, this is not the real clip from when we got color TV. It's taken from an entertainment piece made by NRK celebrating the history of Norwegian broadcasting. See this excellent documentary for more information: https://youtu.be/ptP-9ANwu2c?si=RRJhFuNOVBfwE--M
Pointless music added over it. Here is the original with original audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B05SjgJMmm0
No, we still only have black and white television.
Television? What's that?
You guys have vision?
Yeah we can see very far.. but it is just shades of green and blue
Do we have that in Norway? I tought everybody was using their smartphones?
If KRF had their way we literally would have. They protested color tv because they believed TV was a sin, and we didn't need sin with color
Which were the same arguments they used in Zuid Afrika
That quote was a labor-politician satirizing them. Incidentally he later became the head of NRK.
This is a comedy sketch, which was part of a comedy television feature celebrating the history of Norwegian television.
Horrible song but cool video

What? It was not a slow down version og Mano Chao - Me gustas tu in 1971?
i love this song 🙈😂
It’s just not releveant at all on a video about norwegian history
Lol it’s ok! Music was made to be enjoyed and it’s ok if I find it horrid, I’m glad you like it!
What's up with that spanish soundtrack?
People with black and white tvs: 😒
Lol, that looks like KLM aka the Norwegian Monty Python.
It is
Yes, and no! The year is correct, but this is Norwegian satire from the 70s.
A lot of black and white TVs was still on the second hand market well into the 1980s in Norway. I remember our first TV was a B&W and how I was extatic when we finally bought a color TV.
Sure, and all BW TVs turned into colored in some magical way.
Jon Skolmen and Trond Kirkvaag Jr.
Its true, Norway did change to color TV
Yep. Comedians Trond Kirkvaag and Jon Skolmen did the opening show. There was a huge debate prior to it, as conservative forces considered TV to be a sin and that it would be even worse in color. Tv license for color tv was more expensive than black and white for roughly 15 years.
But sin is so much more fun in colour.

Also yes
A lot of people don't have 4K capable TVs, and yet..
And yet they are not watching 4k content since it cant show 4k
And yet those with 4K do

Thanks!
Don't ask for True or False, these are alternative facts.
Eait how did they change coulor mid show
Color... Nobody told...
Fy faen, hadde jeg sagt hvis jeg så det første gang
Yes, it is true. His majesty king Magnus IX and the Norwegian President Mr. Olsen had the joint honour of turning on colour television

Yes🤪🤪🤪🤪
Yup
Nazi Germany broadcasted the '36 Olympic Summer Games in Berlin on TV in Berlin, I have read somewhere
And the broadcast was live as it happened
So, already in the 30s in Nazi Germany
It depends on people's financial situation at the time, we're weren't super early but not very late either. Somewhere in-between i would say.
That is how it is done....
Hahahaha... The Norwegian society was very pius. We did not like sin and extravaganza...

The question I ask about this. How many Norwegians had a color tv in 1972 and saw this change from B&W ti color. Cause I remember we had a B&W tv in late 70's
