Arbeidsvitaminen ("Work vitamins") is a popular-music
Guinness Book of World Records award for being the longest-lived nationally broadcast radio show in history.[2] This status is debatable, however, since a number of other radio programmes, most notably in Norway and the United Kingdom
, have been on the air since the 1920s.
Concept
Arbeidsvitaminen was created as a late-morning entertainment show by Jaap den Daas, a programme maker for
Willem-Alexander was a guest.[3]
The show also had special theme weeks in which humanitarian organisations were promoted. A recurring item was "One Minute", a collaboration with the Dutch TV show "Opsporing Verzocht", (Investigation Wanted) where witnesses of a certain crime were asked to contact the radio station in case they could provide the investigators with more information.
Since its move to NPO Radio 5 on 6 September 2010 Arbeidsvitaminen has become exclusively a record request show. In 2006 a compilation CD was released featuring the most frequently requested music in the programme's 60-year history. At the same time a CD-ROM, Mega Hitparade, was issued, summarizing the show's playlists from February 1946 to May 1957.
