He said that this afternoon, in De Perstribune, on NPO Radio 1. The former broadcaster was invited to the show to talk about his book "We were there," which will be published soon. can not spend so much on DJs, it means you lose them. You see John of Mol buys everything and everybody right now. I find that a bit worrisome with respect to the relationship between commercial broadcasting and public broadcasting. "Giel Beelen and Gerard Ekdom, among others, went from public broadcasting to Talpa Radio, John de Mol's company.
" The tap water "
What would John do? was still radio chief? "It's very clear in The Hague how important it is to have a public service broadcaster and also mention radio. It's tap water, even for politicians. They think: everything goes without saying. But this is not the case. The question of whether you have a good public broadcaster is a question of civilization. "
Jan Westerhof was arrested in October 2016 as director of the NPO radio station and has been in this position since 2007. Jurre Bosman has taken up his duties, and recently Jan has been working on his own book," We were there ", devoted to a hundred years of radio This book will be published next Tuesday
