BNNVARA (Dutch pronunciation: [bijɛnˌɛɱˈvaːraː]) is a broadcasting association and network within the Dutch public broadcasting system.

[1] BNN and VARA announced on 8 February 2012 that the decision to merge was definite.

After the merge, BNN and VARA kept using their separate branding, but on 24 August 2017 it was announced that as a new broadcaster, BNNVARA (formerly BNN-VARA)[4][5] would start to show programs though VARA, and for radio later the following morning on 28 August.

[6] In 2017, controversy arose when the documentary Jesse, about the leader of the GroenLinks party Jesse Klaver, was aired by BNN-VARA.

The documentary was seen as too biased towards Klaver, fuelling accusations that BNN-VARA lacked journalistic integrity.
