The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting ( NOS , Dutch Broadcasting Foundation ) is one of the broadcasters in the Dutch public broadcasting system, Nederlandse Publieke Omroep . The NOS has a statutory obligation to make news and sports programmes for the three Dutch public television channels and the Dutch public radio services.
The NOS began operations on 29 May 1969, having been established by a law passed by the Dutch parliament on 28 February 1967. This law merged the Netherlands Radio Union (established in 1947) and the Netherlands Television Foundation (established in 1951) and charged the NOS with the tasks of co-ordinating the activities of the "pillar" broadcasting organizations , operating the transmitting stations, and providing at least 25% of all television and 15% of all radio output.
Since December 1994, NOS responsibilities have been more and more confined to the provision of impartial news, sports and live events. A management plan is in place to restructure NOS by 2006 to create a 24-hour news-gathering organisation and to "[transform] from a heavily platform-oriented organisation into one that achieves a balance between platform and theme orientation"which may possibly mean splitting Publieke Omroep further from NOS.
NRU (Nederlandse Radio Unie) was one of 23 founding organisations of the European Broadcasting Union . Since September 2002, the Dutch membership of EBU is held by Netherlands Public Broadcasting (NPB).
