The Dutch public broadcasters have rebranded their bouquet of digital thematic channels. Under the Nederland 24 umbrella, the figure 24 has been added to all channels to highlight the fact that they are available 24 hours a day.
There are now 12 thematic channels offering a variety of programming including news (Journaal 24), Dutch-language music (Sterren 24), history (Geschiedenis 24), comedy (Humor 24), documentaries (Holland Doc 24), religious programming (Spirit 24) consumer programming (Consumenten 24).
All channels are available as streams on the dedicated website nederland24.nl, as well as on most cable operators in the country including Ziggo, UPC, Delta and CAIWay.
A selection of the channels is available on the DTH platform Canal Digitaal Satelliet.
