News Summary:

Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO) will discontinue its standalone NPO Zapp app on July 1, 2026, transitioning all children's programming, previously targeting ages 6-12, to a dedicated Kids Profile within its main NPO Start app. The public broadcaster will also integrate its first vertical videos into the NPO Start app, beginning with highlights from "Zappsport Live," to enhance its reach on mobile devices and social media channels. Previously, on June 12, 2026, NPO announced its first collaboration with Disney+, partnering on a Dutch adaptation of the reality competition format "Wolven: Het Spel Van List En Bedrog." This Traitors-esque strategy battle, based on a cult board game where a group of strangers competes for a prize in a remote forest village, is set to premiere simultaneously across both services later this summer.
