The Sami Radio is a department on its own in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. Due to this fact both the radio and the television divisions of Sami Radio are independent in determining the editorial content of the programmes that are made. Like NRK, we too are financed by licence fee.
The staff of the television division of Sami Radio consists of some 10 people, in charge of the editorial and technical part of the programme, which is transmitted on NRK national television network. Our policy is to protect and develop the Saami language. Therefore, all programmes are made mainly in this language and are then sub-titled into Norwegian.
The programmes we make can be divided into two categories: those that can be viewed on a regular basis, known as the Saami programmes, and those we make for other departments. The regular Saami programmes are: a 15 minute children's television every other week and a 30 minute documentary, feature and debate once a month, with a break during the summer for both. We also make programmes that are not made on a regular basis as mentioned above, but are still considered as independent Saami programmes not being placed under any titles. These are mainly documentaries either from the Saami or other indigenous people's cultural life.
The programmes made for other departments are mainly news reports in Saami, short features for both the youth and adults in programmes made by the regional departments in NRK and environmental documentaries. The subjects we are dealing with in our programmes and reports are issues concerning the Saami and other indigenous people.
