* Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 221 articles in the main category, and specifying`|topic=` will aid in categorization.
* Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
* You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is `Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at [[:nl:NPO Radio 1]]; see its history for attribution.`

NPO Radio 1 is a public-service radio channel in the Netherlands, and is part of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting, NPO. It featured mostly news, talk, and sport programming with a variety of music (from classic hits to oldies to adult contemporary to ethnic music).

## History

[edit]

Its history dates back to 1924, when the first omroeps started sharing time on two longwave transmitters. In 1930, these stations started broadcasting on medium wave. Shortly before World War II, there were already two radio stations out of Hilversum, which were later captured by the Germans. With the end of occupation, a new station operating out of Lopik started, while Radio Nederland reclaimed its former frequencies in January 1946, during the transitional government.[1]

The channel originated in its current form in 1947 as "Hilversum 2", and transmitted using its original name until 1 December 1985, when the name was changed to "Radio 1", and remained so until becoming "NPO Radio 1" in 2014.[2]

In June 2003, the AM frequencies were given to 747 AM, which were vacated in 2015.[1]
