Nordvision is a television and media partnership involving the five Nordic public service broadcasting organizations funded by license fees.
Nordvision was established in 1959 by the public service broadcasting companies in Denmark (DR), Finland (YLE), Norway (NRK) and Sweden (SVT). Iceland (RUV) joined Nordvision in 1966.
Sweden's Utbildningsradio (UR) Greenland's national broadcasting company (KNR) and Faroe Island's Sjønvarp Føroya (KVF) are associated members of the Nordvision partnership.
The nucleus of the Nordvision partnership is co-production of programmes and web projects, programme exchange, and the sharing of professional expertise and experience in expert groups.
There are currently seven Programme and Network Groups where the programme collaboration takes place on a practical level: Children, Culture, Drama, Education, Factual Programmes, Lifestyle Programmes and Music.
