TV Visjon

What TV Visjon does

TV Visjon Norge AS is the operator of the first Scandinavian 24/7 Christian television channel, broadcasting continuously via satellite to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark since March 24, 2003. Founded and led by Jan Hanvold, the company is headquartered in Mjøndalen, Norway, with a production facility at the same location and a 25-room guesthouse/production venue (Visjon Gjestegård) in Hokksund. It employs approximately 60 paid staff plus a layer of volunteers, operating under Norwegian Media Authority (Medietilsynet) supervision. The programming slate includes daily live talk shows (Studio Direkte, Midt på dagen), music and worship programs (Syng med), biblical teaching series (Det står i Bibelen, 200+ episodes since 2020), Israel-focused content (Israelkanalen), an international talk show (Innsikt med Pastor Torp), and a children's Christmas calendar series (Kongenes Konge).

Distribution spans satellite, six Norwegian cable/terrestrial providers (Allente ch. 177, Telenor T-We ch. 320, Telia ch. 115, NextGenTel, Altibox, RiksTV ch. 51), and OTT streaming through VN Play on web, iOS, Android, and AppleTV. Sister channels Vision Heaven (English) and Vision Sverige (Swedish) extend the footprint beyond Norway, and Radio VN provides audio streaming. Partner churches and ministries (Ordet & Israel, Bildøy, Salt Bergen, Sion Molde, Hovedstaden) supply recurring content and host live summer-conference broadcasts.

The company is financed primarily through tax-deductible donation contributions from individual supporters (one-time or recurring via Vipps, bank transfer, or AvtaleGiro), with donations between 500–50,000 NOK qualifying for Norwegian tax deduction. International humanitarian projects — including a Filadelfia church school and an elderly care center in Sarata Galbena, Moldova, plus the Håp for Shkodër church building a new Hope Center in Albania — are funded through dedicated TV fundraising campaigns. Go-to-market is community-led, anchored by Pentecostal and evangelical partner churches across Scandinavia.

Broad incumbents

• EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network): EWTN is the world's largest Catholic media network, broadcasting globally via satellite, cable, and streaming with a donation-funded model.

• Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN): TBN is the largest Christian television broadcaster in the United States, operating multiple channels and streaming services with donation-supported funding.
