2023 marks a milestone in the history of Greenlandic media. It is both the 41st anniversary of the first tv-programs broadcast to a Greenlandic audience in the Greenlandic language (November 1, 2023) and Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa & TV’s (KNR-TV) 10th year as a so-called niche channel broadcasting ma… 2023 marks a milestone in the history of Greenlandic media. It is both the 41st anniversary of the first tv-programs broadcast to a Greenlandic audience in the Greenlandic language (November 1, 2023) and Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa & TV’s (KNR-TV) 10th year as a so-called niche channel broadcasting mainly in-house productions in Greenlandic. The footage produced over this period provides unique glimpses into aspects of everyday life from all over Greenland, creating an invaluable media archive that is housed and maintained by KNR-TV. Through an analysis of this media archive supplemented by a survey of viewers’ perceptions of KNR-TV and its tv-programs, this article examines two central questions: 1) What is the role of the archive in KNR-TV programming? 2) How do viewers experience the many rebroadcasts on KNR-TV? It also examines the relationship between decreases in KNR-TV’s daily viewership and the rise of online media services as well as some of the challenges posed to the digitization of KNR-TV’s archive.

Nonetheless, the framework for the preservation of cultural heritage in Greenland is focused on the tangible, material culture of built heritage and documentary or archival heritage. Read more
