Radio Super: Audio Entertainment for Kids
Launched on October 16, 2007, as NRK Barn (and later known as NRK Radio Super), the radio service provides a dedicated space for audio storytelling and music. The channel is available across Norway and Svalbard via the DAB+ national multiplex (RiksTV Channel 207), the internet, and most Norwegian TV providers' radio sections.
While the service initially aired from 06:00 to 21:00, it now broadcasts 24 hours a day. A notable highlight of the programming is "Skolefri," which has been broadcast live on weekdays from 14:00 to 16:00 since January 2018.

The digital ecosystem of NRK Super is designed to grow with the child. The official website, nrksuper.no, launched in autumn 2007. Originally designed as a portal with separate sections for younger and older children, it has evolved through several redesigns to offer games, online drama, and video content. As of August 6, 2015, it held the title of the largest website for children in Norway.
To complement the web experience, NRK Super released a dedicated app for tablets and mobile devices during the 2012 school holidays. This app allows users to stream TV programs both live and as reruns. The popularity of the digital offering is significant; by 2015, the combined online TV platforms reached approximately 340,000 unique weekly users. A new version of the app launched on April 7, 2015, which subsequently generated over 1 million visits per week.
Furthermore, NRK expanded its reach to living rooms by releasing a similar app for smart-TVs and set-top boxes, though this content is also integrated into the general NRK TV smart-TV application.

NRK Super extends its reach to the YouTube generation through the FlippKlipp channel. The channel has seen various presenters over time, starting with the duo Preben Fjell and Dennis Vareide (known as Prebz and Dennis). They were succeeded by Jonas Lihaug Fredriksen and Henrik Hildre (Baibai and Huginn), who later expanded into a trio with the addition of Victor Sotberg.
Other contributors to the channel's broadcasts include Herman Dahl, Robin Hofset (known as "RobTheSir"), and Christopher Robin Omdahl.
