BNNVARA (Dutch pronunciation: [bijɛnˌɛɱˈvaːraː]) is a broadcasting association and network within the Dutch public broadcasting system.
History
BNNVARA was founded on 1 January 2014 through a merger of the
Freedom Party.[1] BNN and VARA announced on 8 February 2012 that the decision to merge was definite.[2]
On 1 September 2018, existing members of BNN and VARA were converted into members of BNNVARA,[3] thus ending the separate member associations that still existed.
Network
After the merge, BNN and VARA kept using their separate branding, but on 24 August 2017 it was announced that as a new broadcaster, BNNVARA (formerly BNN-VARA)[4][5] would start to show programs though VARA, and for radio later the following morning on 28 August.[6]
