The Norwegian public service media operator NRK has won three of the 11 genre category awards in the annual competition for the best content and professional skills in Europe’s regional television stations.

NRK Rogaland won the prestigious Documentary category with a programme which followed the rehabilitation a young woman who survived the massacre of 77 victims in the shootings on the Norwegian island of Utøya. NRK Trøndelag won the category Entertainment and Drama and NRK Nordland won the category News Report.
The other winners are TVR Bucharest (Romania), RTÉ (Ireland), SVT (Sweden), RTV Oost (The Netherlands), TVP3 Katowice (Poland), Telemadrid (Spain), BBC South (UK) and CRTVG (Galicia, Spain).
