How NRK is popularizing chess in Norway on Television thanks to the Magnus wave ft. Hans Solbakken
424For years it was considered that chess is not much of a spectator sport. But Reidar Stjernen from NRK TV, one of the biggest TV channels in Norway begged to differ. In Magnus Carlsen he saw a superstar who could take the entire nation's emotions on a ride with his chess exploits! That's when NRK started to follow Magnus to different events - first in India for the World Championship Match in 2013 and subsequently all important events after that.
At the World Rapid and Blitz Championships 2022, we had Hans Solbakken from NRK who was the official reporter. We talk to him about the way he works, how many people watch the NRK broadcast back home and much more. It's something that will help you understand how chess can become truly a spectator friendly sport.
One of the sponsors of the tournament is Core. Check out their website for a special offer:
