In the summer of 2005 plans have been presented by the cabinet Balkenende II to renovate the broadcasting system. In the process, the NPS would be abolished by 2007. This was met with rather fierce resistance because the programs they air have a dedicated (and fairly sizeable) group of viewers. The idea was that other stations would take over what NPS does, but there is little confidence among viewers that that will happen. There has been speculation that the reason this right-wing cabinet wants to abolish NPS is that it is too left-wing. However, about half of their shows are produced in cooperation with the two left-wing broadcasters VARA and VPRO . If these were to take over those shows (including the rather popular political shows Nova and Buitenhof ), these might actually become really left-wing. Late 2005, the plans for abolishing the NPS were still alive, though after many protests it was agreed that the programs would all be transferred to the national broadcasting organisation NOS - meaning the staff of the foundation would remain intact and the programs be continued. |
