Lokale Omroep Krimpen

What Lokale Omroep Krimpen does

Lokale Omroep Krimpen (LOK), legally Stichting Lokale Omroep Krimpen, is a Dutch local public broadcaster serving Krimpen aan den IJssel and the surrounding Krimpenerwaard region. The foundation operates LOK Radio on 106.0 FM ether and 87.5 MHz cable, complemented by online live streaming, an on-demand catch-up service (Uitzending Gemist) with 200+ archived episodes, LOK TV video coverage, a Kabelkrant text-news ticker, and a live webcam. The programming slate spans daily news, council coverage, weather, and multiple niche music shows (Christian, Blues, Gospel, Easy Listening), with De Late Avond produced jointly with ten other South Holland local stations.

The technology platform is conventional broadcasting infrastructure: an FM transmitter, cable carriage, a website (lokaleomroepkrimpen.nl) hosting the audio player and content library, plus syndication onto TuneIn, Spotify Podcasts, and YouTube Podcasts. Site content is also distributed via RSS feed and social sharing. There is no proprietary software platform nor disclosed AI/ML technology. Headcount is stated at 51–100, but most program makers and presenters are volunteers supplemented by a small core staff (webmaster since 1994, head of broadcasts since 2006).

The commercial model is almost entirely local advertising sales to SMBs in the catchment area, with rates undisclosed and engagement via a direct phone line. The foundation is not advertising-driven for scale — it is a public-service broadcaster supplemented by municipal/public media funding flows, with the CKZ Streekomroep initiative bringing Stimuleringsfonds voor de Journalistiek support ahead of the 2028 Wet Streekomroep designation.
