Memo(s)

Dag Erik Pedersen stopped cycling after the '92 season. Two years later, he started working in television. First in a commercial tv chhannel; TV Norway.
He puts it this way "I didn't know anything about journalism, exept from all the stupid questions norvergian journalists who knew little or nothing about cycling used to ask me while I was racing in Italy and performed well."

After two years by TV Norway as a junior reporter, Dag Erik got an offer he simply could not refuse; NRK, Norways number one tv channel believed strongly that he could, with some help and a lot of training, become a TV personality.
In 1999 he started working in the studio as an anchor and� he soon became very popular.
After a while he extended his reportoir and started making his own TV entertainment series, own portraits - often with extremely well known people such as Paul McCartney, Andrea Bocelli, BB King, Bob Dylan, King and Quenn of Norway, Prime Ministers, Nobel Peace Price winners even finally; a movie. h
He made a film last year, for NRK, called Deadline Torp; biggest TV Drama sucsess in Norway in the history in addition to be as and anchor in the studio.

He became anchor of the year in 2002, 2004 & 2005 and is today a very famous man, his popularity is even far higher today than when he was cycling, winning races in Italy.
