An unpaid bill of NOK 1.7 million to the TV distributor Allente means that the Christian TV channel Visjon Norge has gone into the black.
This is claimed by TV pastor Jan Hanvold, writer Our country.
– Now we desperately need 1.7 million, and we believe we will get that tonight, said Hanvold during the channel’s broadcast on Monday evening.
According to Drammens Tidende several viewers have complained about black screens on the channel’s Facebook page. Online, however, there is still full traffic and broadcasts.

The TV distributor Allente, for its part, denies that it is because of them that there are black screens on Visjon Norge.
Their press contact informs Vårt Land that you do not need an agreement with them to watch the channel.
In 2016 estimated NRK that Hanvold had also collected over one billion Norwegian kroner through Visjon Norge – but only around 30 percent of the collected funds actually went to the purpose, according to Finansavisen.
