The NPO plans to discontinue BVN, its television channel for Dutch citizens abroad, as part of cost-saving measures. This decision, submitted to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, also includes ending NPO Campus Radio, NPO Soul & Jazz, and NPO 2 Extra. The NPO cites a shift to on-demand viewing as the reason for BVN's closure. Programs from BVN and NPO Soul & Jazz will be available on NPO Start, with soul and jazz content moving to NPO Blend. Approximately 80 full-time jobs will be cut.
