I do not have enough knowledge about the music transmitted to radio receivers in Norway during WW2, but I found some info:

On 9.April 1940 Norway was invaded by Germany and the media was allegedly put under control by pro German people (Nasjonal Samling). Them or the Germans, I don't know for sure.

I am reading that allied forces transmitted propaganda which led to the banning of the use of radio autumn 1941 (wikipedia) and the confiscation of half a million radios. Apparantly, only the people of NS Nasjonal Samling was allowed to own a radio. I don't know if it was also illegal to own a radio up to 1941.

Some people hid away their radios, covertly listening in on BBC transmitting from London.

NRK P1 = possibly the only national radio channel in Norway at that time.

Don't know what NRK P1 did after 1941, if they were twiddling thumbs or whatnot.

Heh, good point, Decoman- probably don't need to worry too much about Norwegian radio. They probably didn't broadcast too much— not much point if there's so few listening, at least from an advertiser's perspective. Still could have functioned as a Reich mouthpiece.
