## Resource

The Dutch government is set to radically reshape public broadcasting by 2029, slashing the current 11 broadcasters down to just four streamlined “broadcasting houses” to boost focus on quality content, journalism, and digital innovation. NOS and NTR will merge under NOS, while new entrants like Zwart seek inclusion — and no more new broadcasters will be allowed in. The plan, backed by the coalition agreement, aims to eliminate internal competition and bureaucratic layers, though it still faces hurdles from the Council of State and concerns over self-regulation.
