Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈneːdərlɑntsə pyˈblikə ˈʔɔmrup]; abbreviated to NPO [ˌɛnpeːˈoː]; literally "Dutch Public Broadcaster")[1] or Dutch Foundation for Public Broadcasting[2] (Dutch: Stichting Nederlandse Publieke Omroep) is a Dutch public broadcasting organisation that administers public broadcasting services in the Netherlands.[3] NPO is also the owner of the radio-spectrum licence and public DVB-T and DAB+ frequencies.

Media Act 2008

According to Article 2.2 the Dutch Media Act of 2008, NPO has been appointed as the governing organisation of the public broadcasting system of the Netherlands until 2020. At the head of the organisation there are two bodies: the board of directors that administers the whole public television and radio broadcasting system; and the supervisory board.

History
