NPO 3 (known as Nederland 3 [ˌneːdərlɑn ˈdri] until 2014) is the third and youngest of the terrestrial television channels operated by the Dutch public-broadcasting organization NPO in the Netherlands. It carries programmes provided by member-based non-profit broadcasting associations and is oriented towards children, youth, and innovative television. The channel is also available on cable companies in its overseas dependencies in the Caribbean, either live or time-shifted. The idea of a third television channel was first explored when the second channel was being conceived: it was initially suggested that the second channel should be commercial, with some co-operation from NTS, while the public broadcasters would apply for the creation of a third channel, which would only open in 1969 at earliest. Eventually, NTS became the licensee of the channel. More information...
