Rob van Someren is switching to 100% NL and will be making Somertijd again every day!
One of the most famous DJs on Dutch radio and multiple winner of the Golden Radio Ring for Best Program Rob van Someren is moving to 100% NL. He will be heard there again this fall daily between 16:00 and 19:00 with his regular sidekicks in his program Somertijd. Barry Paf will be in charge of the lunch show from that moment on.
Rob van Someren: “It’s no secret that I love nothing more than taking listeners home at the end of their workday, entertaining them and catching them up on their day. I’m therefore incredibly happy that I have the opportunity at 100% NL to continue this long-standing tradition.”
Martijn Zuurveen, Station Director 100% NL: “With Rob we are adding a big name and one of the leading radio DJs in the Netherlands to our programming. Rob makes your day with his witty humor, sincerity and an accessible atmosphere.”
With the arrival of Van Someren, Barry Paf moves to the lunchtime slot. Zuurveen: “Barry has been a fixture of 100% NL for years and he will remain so. With his familiar voice and enthusiasm during lunch and the morning show with Giorgio Hokstam and Ingrid Jansen, we have a rock-solid programming for the coming years.”
Together with Rob van Someren, his team members will also come to 100% NL. Sidekicks and producers Sven van Veen and Lex Landeweerd and newsreader Chantal Quak can also be heard on the radio station from this fall. The familiar characters of voice artist Dingetje will also come along with the furnishings.
Since his start at Radio Decibel in 1980, Rob van Someren has been an indispensable part of the Dutch radio landscape. He has been heard on Radio 10, 3FM and Radio Veronica, among others. With his program Somertijd, which has been on air since 1992, he won the Golden RadioRing for Best Program twice. He was also awarded the title of best presenter twice. Somertijd has been one of the most listened to programs on Dutch radio for years.
The start date will be announced later.
