BNNVARA, also known as Omroepvereniging BNN-VARA, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the Netherlands. Founded in 2014, with approximately 610 employees, the company reported $146.9M in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in media managed services, operating as a Dutch public broadcasting organization that runs several television and radio networks in the Netherlands. Established as a merger between BNN and VARA, the organization also produces digital content and maintains an online platform that provides access to its programs and other media.
On January 30, 2026, public broadcasters, including BNNVARA for its program 'Kassa,' saw a potential reversal of an extra 50 million euro cut to public broadcasting, as indicated by the upcoming cabinet's coalition agreement. Previously, on January 19, Roos Moggré was slated to present the BNNVARA talk show "Pauw De Wit & Moggré" for two weeks on NPO 1, airing daily from February 9 to 19 immediately following the Olympic Games broadcasts. Earlier in January, specifically on January 9, BNNVARA presenter Erik Dijkstra launched a new weekly podcast titled "Blok & Dijkstra Read Books Yet" alongside AVROTROS's Mischa Blok, sharing stories from literature and personal experiences. This followed BNNVARA's launch of its new NPO Radio 1 program, 'The Red Wire,' on New Year's Day, 2026. Presented by Natasja Gibbs and Stephan Komduur, the program airs Monday to Thursday from 19:00 to 21:00, offering a contrarian view on the news.
