The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (abbr. NOS), English: Netherlands Broadcasting Foundation, is one of the broadcasters in the Netherlands Public Broadcasting system. The NOS also has a statutory obligation to make news and sports programmes for the three Dutch public television channels and the Dutch public radio services.
The programmes from the NOS derive from the Dutch Media Act 2008, which stipulates the NOS make regular and frequent programming of a public service nature. The Media Decree specifies the type of programming, which includes daily news reports, parliamentary coverage, sports coverage and national holidays.
The NOS also acts as a co-ordinator for the Dutch public broadcasting system as a whole. In the event of emergencies an/or a major news story breaking, it assumes control of the public networks and co-operates with the other members of the system to provide the coverage.
Programmes produced by the NOS include its daily television and radio bulletins, the NOS Journaal. Parliamentary reports are shown in Den Haag Vandaag (The Hague Today). It also supplies news programmes aimed at children (Jeugdjournaal), teens and young adults (NOS Headlines, NOS Journaal op 3) and sports fans (NOS Langs de Lijn, NOS Studio Sport). Programmes are made available via television, radio and online.
