Patrick Kicken: Giel Beelen again at NPO Radio 2 and different switch information – Spreekbuis.nl

[BLOG] As anticipated right here the column about Morad needed to go A while in the past: BNNVARA needs a greater broadcast time in the course of the day on NPO Radio 2 than the penalty field 8-10 pm the place El Ouakili will be heard. So broadcaster Arjan Penders needs each Rob Stenders and Giel Beelen to return and fill in on the finish of 2-4pm. The latter is a bit simpler to get than Rob, who clearly needs to get his previous age with a aggressive wage that Mediahuis can afford​​​​​​​​​​​​ and the NPO can’t. However there’s extra happening at NPO Radio 2, in response to the passages. Would you prefer to dive into this refreshing vacation column?

The story goes that NPO Radio 2 station chief Peter de Vries is not pleased, particularly with the disc jockeys. How might it’s in any other case? NPO’s head of audio, Jurre Bosman lets him do the soiled work and in the long run he would not shrink back from throwing him underneath the bus because the ‘trigger’ of the channel’s large (5 large names left) and the large loss in market share, at 10+ and 20-49 in a single yr. Whereas Bosman pulls his nostril, he’s nonetheless squeaky clear and De Vries is blamed, in brief: a media supervisor and a succesful politician. There are already two sharks swimming round Peter’s NPO channel supervisor place: one Florent Luyckx, as soon as channel supervisor at 3FM, 538 and Veronica, now at Powned, however Jurre would not like him that a lot. Higher playing cards: one Niels Hoogland (the one with the cap), recognized from FunX and now Mix. The latter would additionally clarify why he finally didn’t return to 538 to make the hit station profitable once more along with his previous buddy Dave, opting as a substitute for the safer waters of the NPO Talpa Radio turbulent waves.

Effectively, what do I’ve to write down about Giel right here: good that he can do his trick once more, he has to rise up early anyway due to his younger offspring. Hopefully it really works once more and lets the reside bands wreck issues at 538 on Friday afternoons. It is sensible that he has a De Slimste Mens winner subsequent to him (Roelof de Vries), so it is nonetheless a high-quality program. It can seem once more that Beelen has a significantly better match with the NPO viewers than the industrial viewers Veronica. And it is nice that he launches the information on the day Wipneus & Pim begins within the afternoon on channel 10 oldies, in the present day it is principally about Giel.

Talking of Veronica, I hear that Gerard Ekdom is bringing collectively a composer from Radio 10, a sure Hugo Hofman. He’s a sort of worm-shaped appendix of Ekdom as a result of he joined him from NPO Radio 2 to Radio 10 on the time. Hoping to maintain Gerard in test a bit, in his closing week our disc jockey star performed a thirty-year-old membership basic as ‘Maintain That Sucker Down’ by OT Quartet at 7:30 am on Radio 10. And proud that he was on Instagram! If it is a signal of what we’ll hear quickly at Veronica’s within the morning (all b-sides) I am holding my breath. They realized that from September they may put the whole lot on crimson and launch a HUGE advertising and marketing marketing campaign for De Gerard. It is ridiculous that his present would not go on till 10am however solely till 9am early within the morning, that is actually silly and fully new. Anyway, you retain one thing small. I hope they’ll implement the oldest radio model within the Netherlands on a really small lot. Quickly he’ll have the ability to get Beelen all around the Netherlands once more as a substitute of simply on a walkie talkie, which can be good for him too! Nonetheless good, some listeners.
