Streekomroep RTV NOF

What Streekomroep RTV NOF does

Streekomroep RTV NOF (legal entity: Stichting Streekomroep Noordoost Friesland) is a non-profit regional public broadcaster serving the municipalities of Dantumadiel, Noardeast-Fryslân, Achtkarspelen, and Tytsjerksteradiel in Noordoost Fryslân, Friesland province, Netherlands. Founded in 1989 and reorganized in its current form through the September 2020 merger with RTV Kanaal 30, the organization operates a multi-platform media network spanning FM radio, DAB+ digital radio, television (Kanaal 30), a news website, a mobile application, and social media accounts on X, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. Programming is delivered in both Dutch and Frisian (Stadsfries/Wâldfries), covering local news, sports, council meetings, cultural features, music shows, and community events. The broadcaster holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status and is the first broadcaster in Fryslân to receive the Keurmerk Nederlandse Streekomroepen quality mark (October 2024).

The content operation is built on a core paid editorial team of approximately 20 staff supported by over 100 volunteers operating from studios in De Westereen and Burgum. Governance is structured with an executive board led by directeur/bestuurder Sven Keizer, editor-in-chief Harm Weistra safeguarding journalistic independence, and a non-executive board including Erik Visser, Marco Keizer, and Peter Tromp. A PBO (Programme Policy-Making Body) represents diverse local sectors in programme direction. Notable output programs include Rûnwei Sport (regional sports), Raadsvergadering (live council meetings), Weekoverzicht (weekly news compilation), and Uitzending Gemist (on-demand archive).

Revenue is generated through advertising and sponsorship across radio, TV, and digital channels, supplemented by public funding under the Dutch local public broadcasting system and tax-deductible donations enabled by ANBI status. Advertising is structured around SMB packages with examples including a Koningsdag special (€200 excl. VAT), static TV sheets (€300), animated commercials (€500), and combined bundles (€450–€650). Strategic cooperation with Omrop Fryslân, the provincial public broadcaster, supports journalistic capacity. The business model is not growth-driven; it is a licensed regional public service operator with a fixed geographic mandate, community-embedded production model, and limited commercial footprint.

RTV NOF has a structural cooperation (structurele samenwerking) with Omrop Fryslân, which has strengthened local journalism in Noordoost-Fryslân.

• Nederlandse Lokale Publieke Omroepen (NLPO)coreOthersNLPO is the national coordinating and cooperation body for local public broadcasters in the Netherlands. The NLPO developed the Keurmerk Nederlandse Streekomroepen and represents local omroeps in policy and regulatory matters. RTV NOF is affiliated and subject to NLPO standards and oversight.
• RTV Kanaal 30coreOthersRTV Kanaal 30 (formerly Stichting Lokale Omroep Tytsjerksteradiel, S.L.O.T.) was the local broadcaster for Tytsjerksteradiel municipality.
