September 17, 2009 • 29 min

1960 was the year television came to Norway. That same year, Enerhaugen was leveled, the Tromsø Bridge was opened, and it became possible to buy a car without a special permit. In the U.S., Kennedy was elected president, and in Africa, a total of 17 countries gained independence. Three personalities who helped define the year comment on its events. Knut Johannesen skated his way into our hearts with his Olympic gold medal, Nora Brockstedt became our first star in the Eurovision selection with «Voi Voi», and Inger Lise Haug, our first female TV announcer, became Norway’s first television celebrity.
