What RTV Noord does

RTV Noord is the regional public broadcaster for the province of Groningen in the northern Netherlands. Founded as a traditional regional sender (zender), the organization has repositioned itself as a regional connector (regionale verbinder), offering news, sports, culture, and community information across all 10 Groningen municipalities. It serves the 'betrokken Groninger' — engaged residents seeking locally relevant, context-rich coverage that distinguishes it from national and international media.
