“After several years without sport on TV3, we have chosen to show all Norwegian matches on TV3. Viasat4 will remain our main channel for sport but handball Championship is a national event and we want to send Norges matches on our main channel TV3” Morten Micalsen, the head of Modern Times Group in Norway, told for the Kampanje media website.
