The main transmitter at Holtberget in Kongsvinger

Situated at Holtberget, is one of Norkring’s many main transmitters for broadcasting sound and image. It was erected in 1967 and had a frequency converter fitted in 1968. The converter got its program signals from Mistberget near Eidsvoll. This guyed lattice mast is 163 meters high.

In 2007, a new antenna for the televisual digital ground network was fitted to the top of the mast at Holtberget, and in February 2009 the old analogue TV signals were shut down. For radio, the station is equipped with both FM- transmitters and digital radio transmitters (DAB).

FM transmissions were initiated on 26 June 1970, while televisual transmissions started on the 18 December, the year before. The station is currently used for transmitting all NRK channels, P4 and for the mobile networks of Telenor, Telia and ICE. It is also used by broadband service-providers, Nødnett (emergency network), NRK reportage and as a central hub for local radio lines and for parts of a nationwide radio line grid.
