Stichting Regionale Publieke Omroep (RPO), or the Regional Public Broadcasting Foundation,[1] is the umbrella organisation of regional public broadcasters in the Netherlands. It is tasked with the promotion of co-operation between regional broadcasters, and represents their interests on a national and international level.[2] The purpose and organisation of the RPO is similar to the NPO (for national broadcasters) and the NLPO (for local broadcasters).[3]

History

[edit]

The RPO was founded on 31 May 2016 by its predecessor, Stichting Regionale Omroep Overleg en Samenwerking (ROOS, lit. 'Regional Broadcasting Consultation and Co-operation Foundation').[4] Its formation was the result of an adaptation of the Media Act 2008, initiated by the second Rutte cabinet.[2] The ROOS, which had been established in 1988, legally merged into the RPO on 1 July 2017.[5][6]

Jan Müller, executive director since 2021

The RPO is a member of CIRCOM.[7] On 1 February 2021, Jan Müller was appointed executive director of the RPO.[8]
