TV 2 Nyhetskanalen ("TV2 News Network") is a Norwegian language television news channel which started broadcasting on January 15, 2007. It is Norway's first national news network in Norwegian.

Its main office is located in Bergen.

Programming

TV2 Nyhetskanalen broadcasts from 6:25 am to 5:00 pm from Oslo, and is also responsible for God Morgen Norge's news bulletins every half hour in the morning. From 5:00pm to midnight the network broadcasts from its main office in Bergen.

At any point, the programming can be interrupted for the much-advertised breaking news.

Weekdays

The network has live broadcast with two anchors in the studio from 6:25am to midnight, but it is manned all night long so that the network can quickly break in to its night-schedule for big breaking news events. Its night-schedule consists of Nyhetshjulet (The News Wheel) which shows news reports from the previous day without an anchored introduction. At all times (except during commercials) there is a news ticker at the bottom of the screen, and today's date and exact time beneath the network's logo.

Weekends

During the week-ends, the daytime slot is used for re-runs of the weeks actuality programs and selected documentaries. The network has news broadcasts with anchors from Bergen from 2:00pm to 9:30pm, but instead of showing live news all the time during these times, the first half of every hour is used to show the latest updated news, sports and weather and the remaining half is used to show programs such as "Ukeblikk", that sums up the news-week, "Korrespondenten" (The Correspondent), focusing on a recent international news stories, and "Økonomimagasinet" (Economy magazine).

Breakthrough

Its breakthrough came at 2 PM on January 13, 2007, two days before its planned launch date, when the channel had a breaking news report about the environmental disaster outside Fedje, breaking into broadcast on its Mother channel TV2. During this breaking news broadcast, Lene Østby Sævrøy and Espen Fiveland anchored the broadcast.

Terje Svabø and Mah-Rukh Ali lead the first ordinary broadcast on January 15th 2007 at 12 noon.
