RADIO NETHERLANDS.
Radio Netherlands (Dutch: Radio Nederland Wereldomroep) was a public radio and television network which produced and transmitted programs for international audiences between 1947 and 2012. Radio Netherlands was based in Hilversum, Netherlands.
On the 24th day of May 1945, with the assistance of the BBC, a program was transmitted for Dutch people who were living abroad. A few months later, in July 1945 the Dutch Government founded the domestic and international Stichting Radio Nederland in den Overgangstijd (Radio Netherlands in Time of Transition). On the 15th day of April 1947, the Stichting Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (Radio Netherlands International Foundation) was established. That year a number of broadcasts in various languages commenced, including Dutch, Indonesian, English and Spanish.
Other languages followed in 1949 (Arabic and Afrikaans, 1969 (French), and 1974 (Brazillian Portuguese).
On the 10th day of May 2012, Radio Netherland's Dutch services concluded.
The English language broadcasts concluded on the 29th day of June 2012, due to significant budget cuts imposed by the Dutch Government. It was claimed that more people listened to the Radio Netherlands podcasts than shortwave.
