L1 , also known by its original name Omroep Limburg ( lit. ' Limburg Broadcasting ' ), is a regional public broadcaster in the Netherlands, specifically serving the province of Limburg . Founded in 1988 to replace the Regionale Omroep Zuid [ nl ] (ROZ), the station rebranded to L1 in 1999 following a merger with the commercial broadcaster TV8 Limburg [ nl ] .

History [ edit ]

On 24 December 1945, the Regionale Omroep Zuid [ nl ] (ROZ) ? the first regional radio station in the Netherlands ? began its broadcasts in Limburg. ^[1]^[2] The station operated under the umbrella of the Dutch Radio Union (NFU) and, from 1969, the Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS). ^[1] In 1988, the regional broadcasting services were detached from the NOS, following the implementation of the Media Act. ^[3] The ROZ was then dissolved and replaced by the newly founded Omroep Limburg as Limburg's regional public broadcaster. ^[1]^[3]

In 1997, the commercial regional television station TV8 Limburg [ nl ] was established. ^[1] Later that year, Omroep Limburg also began broadcasting on television. ^[1] Due to cable network limitations, the channels shared the same frequency: Omroep Limburg aired from 7:15 to 19:15, while TV8 Limburg took over during the evening and early morning hours. ^[1]^[4] Because of the legal and practical challenges posed by the shared television frequency, the two broadcasters merged in June 1999 to form L1. ^[1]^[2]
