Visjon Norge (or TV Visjon Norge) is a Norwegian Christian television station, which was launched in 2003 as the first Scandinavian Christian television channel to air 24 hours a day. It can be reached throughout Scandinavia by satellite. The founder and executive editor of the channel is Jan Hanvold. A sister channel based in Sweden, TV Vision Norden was launched in 2015.
TV Visjon Norge has 75 employees, in addition to a number of volunteers. The television department of the organisation has 30 employees. 46% of the channel's programming is produced by its "broadcasting partners", and the remainder by the channel itself. Visjon Norge also does aid work in Eastern Europe and Africa, and has aired programs about its work in Moldova. In addition it operates two radio stations, and has a monthly magazine with 17,000 subscribers (2011). The organisation has its headquarters in Drammen. Since 2011 it has an annual operating revenue (nearly all donations) of around 90 million kr.
Visjon Norge began broadcasting on March 24, 2003. It airs over Scandinavia 24 hours a day, with a variety of Christian-themed programming, aiming to preach the gospel of Jesus and to support the state of Israel. The company is owned by Visjonskirken, a local congregation founded by Jan Hanvold and his wife Inger in 2001, but the channel itself is officially interdenomenational. The channel claimed 100,000 more or less regular viewers by 2007, in addition to Norway, mostly in Sweden and the Faroe Islands. It is available to 98% of Norwegian households, and averages around 20,000 daily viewers in Norway as of 2015 (TNS Gallup).
Visjon Norge has been cited as a central part in mobilizing the development of a new Christian right in Norway, and accused of promoting The Christians Party. Abroad, the channel has held meeting campaigns with thousands of people in the Faroe Islands.
