What about VRT NU? The digital viewing platform of the VRT was good for 91 million video starts in the first half of 2021, 36% more than in the record year 2020. VRT NU is becoming increasingly important. 35% of viewers are under the age of 35. Full fiction series are still offered on it, from the first day they start on the air. “For Flemish fiction series, we look at that case by case”, it sounds.
But there will also be more audio on VRT NU, in the form of podcast series that are already being made by the various VRT networks. New are some “web-only” series, specifically tailored for VRT NU, such as the series by Iluna and Seksuolotte or the comedy series “Match”, in which video maker Average Rob makes his acting debut.
“From September, Android TV users will also be able to use a so-called “First Screen App”. As you can click directly to Netflix, you will also be able to do that to VRT NU. That application will be rolled out over the other systems later, to to increase ease of use for viewers,” said network manager Lotte Vermeir.
