Nieuwsuur (News Hour) is a Dutch current affairs television programme produced for the NPO, produced by the public broadcasters NOS and NTR.
The programme pays particular attention to Dutch and European politics and current affairs, as well as other international events.
As early as 2008 there were plans for a new news programme, combining NOVA, the NOS Journaal and Den Haag Vandaag (The Hague Today).
This was because the NPO did not want a member-based broadcaster such as the traditionally left-leaning VARA to be involved in an objective and independent news programme.
At the end of January 2010, it was announced that NOVA and current affairs programme Netwerk would end at the start of autumn 2010, and that Nieuwsuur would replace NOVA from 6 September 2010.
