Thormod Fjeld

Thormod Fjeld was a Norwegian television pioneer who played a crucial role in the development of television transmission in Norway during the early 20th century. While much of the credit for the invention of television is often attributed to Scottish inventor John Logie Baird, Fjeld's innovative work in the field has been largely overlooked. As the world prepares to celebrate the centenary of television on January 26, 2026, Fjeld's contributions are being recognized anew, highlighting his importance in the history of broadcasting in Norway.
