NPS

Background
The NPS (Nederlandse Programma Stichting) was a Dutch public broadcaster, founded on April 28, 1994. On September 1, 2010, the NPS merged with Teleac and RVU to form the NTR. It was the only A-broadcaster without members and without a program magazine. From 1995 to 2006, the NPS broadcast exclusively on Nederland 3 and 3FM, and from 2006 until the merger in 2010 mainly on Nederland 2.

Technique: CGI by Will Bakker.

Audio: An instrumental theme, ending with a short flourish. Composed by Bernhard Joosten.

2nd ID (1997-1999)

3rd ID (1999-2008)
