The fixed line (cable and IPTV) agreement covers Sweden and Norway and includes NENT Group’s TV3, TV6, TV8, TV10 and TV3 Sport channels in Sweden; and TV3, TV6 and Viasat 4 channels in Norway. NENT Group’s premium Viasat sports and film packages, along with the Viasat Golf channel, will be available to Telenor’s fixed line subscribers in both countries.

Telenor has over 1.7 million TV customers across the Nordic region.
Kim Poder, NENT Group Chief Commercial Officer: “We want Viaplay and our TV channels to be available in as many homes as possible. Telenor customers across the Nordic region will now be able to add Viaplay to their TV subscription, and this will increase our reach even further. NENT Group’s partnerships show the attraction of our unique content offering of originals, international films and series, kids content and live sports. It is particularly exciting that Telenor’s customers will be able to enjoy our coverage of the massively popular FIS skiing events from 2021 onwards.”
The extended partnership with Telenor reflects NENT Group’s strategic focus on long-term distribution deals that ensure the broad availability of its streaming services and TV channels across the Nordic region.
