EspañolTELEVISION NETWORKS IN THE NETHERLANDS
In the Netherlands, the television market is divided between a number of commercial networks and a system of public broadcasters sharing three channels. In the Netherlands, as in Belgium and several other European countries, foreign shows are generally shown in the original language, with subtitles.
Main articles: Publieke Omroep
Dutch public television, the ''Publieke Omroep'', supported by government taxes and commercials, operates three channels:
★ Nederland 1
★ Nederland 2
★ Nederland 3
These stations can only make a fixed maximum amount of money from commercials inserted by the independent ''Ster'' agency. These commercials never interrupt broadcasts, and are only shown in between shows. The broadcasting companies that use these stations are basically representative of the dutch society. Every broadcasting company has members and the number of members gives them a status that is connected to the number of hours of broadcasting. If you are planning to 'go public' on dutch television you need to have 50.000 members and something new to ad to the exsisting broadcasting conglomerate. If you get in or not is a political desicion usually guided by public opinion.
Latest addition was MAX that started in 2002 but only started broadcasting on september 3 2005. It targets mainly people over 50.
In 2005 there has been a sharp political debate over government plans to cut funding to public broadcasters, as well as abolishing statutory broadcaster NPS.
Commercial television started with RTL (Radio Television Luxemburg) broadcasting from Luxembourg as a pirate station. There are now two major nationwide commercial television companies, each with three or more channels:
RTL Nederland (part of RTL Group):
★ RTL 4
★ RTL 5
★ RTL 7
★ RTL 8
SBS Broadcasting Group:
★ SBS6
★ NET 5
★ Veronica
The are also other networks present, offering speciality channels. Among them are Discovery Communications, MTV Networks Europe and Time Warner Inc.
