The
VPRO
(stylized
vpro
; originally an acronym for
Vrijzinnig Protestantse Radio Omroep
,
lit.
'
Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcaster
'
) is a Dutch
public broadcaster
that is part of the
Dutch public broadcasting system
. It was founded in 1926 as a
liberal Protestant
radio station. In the 1950s and 1960s, it gradually became
social liberal
rather than Protestant, and the original meaning of the acronym was eventually dropped.
In 1967, VPRO was the first station in the Netherlands to show a nude woman,
Phil Bloom
, on national television.
[1]
VPRO produces
avant-garde
programs,
documentaries
, and
films
; its target audience consists of educated and creative people.
[2]
Like all public broadcasters in the Netherlands, VPRO does not have its own television channel.
[3]
VPRO often cooperates with foreign broadcasters such as
WDR
, the
BBC
, and
Arte
.
