Netherlands Public Broadcasting - Television

Television

The broadcasting organisations produce programmes for the three main television channels and the twelve digital channels, available through Nederland 24. As of 4 July 2009 the three main channels are simulcasted in 1080i high-definition. Most programming in the early stages is upscaled as in time more programs will become available in native HD. From June 2 until August 24, 2008 a temporary high-definition version of the Nederland 1 channel was made available to broadcast Euro 2008, the 2008 Tour de France, and the 2008 Summer Olympics in HD before launch of the permanent HD service.

Famous quotes containing the word television:

    Addison DeWitt: Your next move, it seems to me, should be toward television.

    What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.
    Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

    The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labour in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
    Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
