The VPRO (originally an acronym for ''Vrijzinnig Protestantse Radio Omroep'', or "Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcasting Company") was established in the Netherlands in 1926 as a religious Broadcasting organization. Falling under the Protestant " Pillar ", it represented the Liberal Protestant current. However, in the 1950s and 1960s it became more "liberal" than Protestant , and while the acronym VPRO was kept, its meaning was dropped. It was the first to show a Nude woman on Dutch television, Phil Bloom in 1967 http://www.rug.nl/rc/organisatie/pictogram/archief/2001-03/audiovisueel%20archief%20online.htm. It is still considered the most "culturally radical" group on Dutch television. VPRO often collaborates with other broadcasting organisations such as the WDR , the BBC , and Arte . Like all Dutch Public Broadcasters the VPRO does not have its own channel. It appears to be the first Dutch broadcaster to have an official presence on YouTube . {Link without Title} SOME SHOWS ON VPRO
