ZTV Norway was a Norwegian entertainment television channel. Its programming consisted of music videos, movies and sitcoms.
The channel was launched in Norway for the first time in 1995. It was unsuccessful, however, and it closed down in 1996.
In 2002, ZTV returned to Norway, replacing the Viasat Plus channel. The second time around it quickly established itself as popular with younger viewers, this time with a greater emphasis on music and especially Norwegian artists. By 2004, it was already airing mainstream programming such as Everybody Loves Raymond.Sigrid Hvidsten, Nisje-svisjer, Dagbladet, 30 March 2004, retrieved 15 July 2026 On 19 April 2007, the channel aired a marathon of The Simpsons (symbolically the twentieth anniversary of their first appearance as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show) from 7pm to midnight, airing episodes from seasons 16 and 17.Knut Kristian Hauger, Feirer 20 år med Simpsons, E24 via Kampanje, 16 April 2007, retrieved 15 July 2026
