According to Article 2.2 the Dutch Media Act of 2008, NPO has been appointed as the governing organisation of the public broadcasting system of the Netherlands until 2020. At the head of the organisation there are two bodies: the board of directors that administers the whole public television and radio broadcasting system; and the supervisory board.
Prior to the reorganisation in the 2000s, the Dutch public broadcasting system was managed by another public broadcasting organisation, the Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), which has since become a member of NPO.
The objectives of NPO are:
NPO is an active member of the European Broadcasting Union,[4] and co-organised the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with member broadcasters AVROTROS and NOS.[5]
In 2013, NPO became the winner of the Prix Europa award for the Best TV Fiction Script by a Newcomer (for the screenplay of the film The Deflowering of Eva Van End, written by Anne Barnhoorn in collaboration with NPO).[6]
