Onheard Netherlands has 50,000 members | Inland

“OmroepON is going to Hilversum. Thanks to all members and volunteers. It would never have been possible without you ”, founder Arnold Karskens happily responds on Twitter.

Last month it was announced that Omroep ZWART, founded by Akwasi and Gianni Grot, also has 50,000 members.

That does not mean that these broadcasters will actually get a place with the NPO. The Media Authority and the Culture Council still have to check whether the aspiring broadcasters do indeed have that many members and whether they all actually pay dues. They then advise the Minister of Media whether the aspiring broadcaster has added value in the public system. This is a basic requirement for new broadcasters added to the order.
