history

The program was started in 1996 under the name Zomer TV (Summer TV) as a program for Dutch holidaymakers in Europe. Initially, it was only broadcast unencrypted for a few hours a day on Astra 19.2 ° East. The program was successively developed into a worldwide Dutch international television station, which was called BVN as an abbreviation for het Beste van Nederland . After the introduction of Flemish radio, the abbreviation was converted to today's long form. The transmitter was originally a project of Radio Nederland Wereldomroep , but this was given different tasks in 2013.
