The Dutch council for culture has recommended that two new initiatives be admitted to the public broadcasting system – Omroep Zwart and Ongehoord Nederland.
Omroep Zwart, which involves rapper Akwasi, is ‘highly diverse’ and speaks to the millennial generation, Kristel Baele, chairwoman of the council, told Radio 1 news.
ON, launched last year and backed by backed by Dutch far right parties PVV and FvD has ‘added value’ for the broadcast system in that it provides a voice for people who feel estranged from politics and public services, she said.
