NCRV

NCRV stands for Nederlandse Christelijke Radio Vereniging, a Dutch public broadcasting association established in 1924 as part of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting system. It was one of the broadcasting associations that produced radio and, later, television programs for a Protestant Christian audience. The organization was based in Hilversum and drew on contributions from member churches and supporters to fund programming, alongside public funding.

NCRV's remit included religious programming, family-oriented content, and social and cultural programming intended for a broad audience within the public broadcasting framework. It operated as a producer and contributor to NPO, the Dutch public service broadcaster, and its material was broadcast on public channels and radio networks.

In 2014 NCRV merged with Katholieke Radio Omroep (KRO) to form KRO-NCRV, a single broadcaster within the Dutch public broadcasting system. The NCRV brand largely disappeared from on-air identity, with programming continuing under the KRO-NCRV umbrella and distributed by NPO channels.

The NCRV's legacy includes its role in the development of Christian-informed public broadcasting in the Netherlands and its archival material, which forms part of KRO-NCRV's heritage. The organization contributed to a tradition of religious and culturally oriented programming in Dutch media.
