Several broadcasting organisations of the Publieke Omroep deliver a wide variety of programs for the channel, usually for larger audiences.

In 1951, public radio broadcasters AVRO, KRO, VARA and NCRV established the NTS, Nederlandse Televisie Stichting (Dutch Television Foundation).

[5] During that same decade, television became available nationally by the introduction of more transmitters and repeaters in Goes, Roosendaal, Loon op Zand, Mierlo, Roermond, Markelo, Ugchelen, Zwolle, Smilde and the new Gerbrandy Tower in IJsselstein.

Its main focus is on general news and sports broadcasts and also provides technical and administrative coordination.

In return, EO moved to Nederland 2, before making their programming output available on all three channels on 24 August 2000 before the huge revamp from 4 September 2006.

[12] NPO 1 launched its first trials with ultra-high-definition television through KPN, CanalDigitaal and some minor networks on 14 June 2018, using the HLG standard.

[13][14][15] KPN started to switch its digital terrestrial television platform to the DVB-T2 HEVC standard in October 2018;[16] this transition was completed on 9 July 2019.

[17] The same applied to UEFA Euro 2024 where NPO 1 UHD could be received in 1920x1080 in 50 full frames per second in HDR, or 1080p50/HDR-HLG.

2 Special, extra long broadcasts are made during important events such as the FIFA World Cup, the Tour de France or the Olympic Games.
