Veronica News radio

Veronica news radio was the news program of the Veronica Broadcasting Organisation, on the Radio 1news and current affairs channel. The program has existed on the public channel between 1985 and 1995 and as an independent commercial company from 1995 to 1996. ==Emergence of VNR[ Edit] == Veronica had at admitting to the public order in 1976 the obligation to provide a total program. This meant that a predetermined percentage of transmission time had to be spent on current events, culture and scattering.At the very beginning of Veronica as public service broadcasting, in which one but three hours and hours of television time per week radio broadcasting had, it was merged in the program informative block Veronica total. In this block, that Veronica was called Info came in short current events are discussed.

In the beginning, the informative program only of a statement that was read by the presenter, after which listeners could respond by phone. This part of the programme, the Phone-In later became the basis for what eventually would be News in 1983 Veronica radio. Veronica had since its admission in the regular ensured public order all firsts in the field of radio production. Before the arrival of Veronica News Radio took care of the existing broadcasters current affairs programmes often consisted of very long-winded interviews and reports. Veronica introduced a new approach to news radio, which consisted of short and superficial news items.From two o'clock in the afternoon were the first three hours reserved for the backgrounds of the news interspersed with music, with presenters such as Jaap van Meekren, Simone Wiegel and Chose Pan. On the half hours there was a private news items broadcast. After these three hours it was time for "the world in half an hour", in which the news was read out quickly with in the background the sound of a teleprinter. This part came 4 times in succession and was on the whole hours separated by STAR-advertising and news from the REUTERS and at half past six likewise by the REUTERS news. The presenters of this part included Jan de Hoop,Loretta Writer, Martin Davidson, Rob Hessing and Rob Trip. They also took care of the news items in the first three hours. The listeners could still respond via the Phone-In. ==VNR after public era[ Edit] == When Veronica left the public broadcasting system in 1995, was also Veronica news radio taken to the new commercial company. The public service broadcasters, which until then took care of their own news program, went to work in the NOS Radio 1 Journal, and used more or less the same format that Veronica news radio used as a public service broadcaster. Because the Holland Media Group felt that VNR not attractive for advertisers, and was only profitable enough Hitradio Veronica and television did not consider, the Association was forced to seek a partner for Veronica VNR. This partner was found in the person of Maarten van den Biggelaar, owner of Quote. Quote had been longer with the idea around to start its own news and current affairs channel, and had already been the medium wave frequency 1395 bought, but did not have the necessary employment facilities. Because Veronica in her building on the Laapersveld had the studio facilities and had the necessary knowledge and experience to provide a news program, it came to a collaboration between Veronica and Quote. ==Start and fall of VNR[ Edit] == After some adjustments in the studio infrastructure, including the make of the fully digital studio, began 24-hour broadcasting from VNRS with Veronica News radio.

However shortly after the start came also the first financial problems. Because fellow shareholder, Quote, did not meet its financial obligations, were all holes filled by the Vereniging Veronica. Veronica eventually gave the Association no less than nine million guilder to VNR in the air to be able to keep. Because further investments no longer was justified, and now other creditors at VNR to the Bell, it was decided to pulled for VNR the bankruptcy. After research by the curator came to light that very large sums of money were invested in by Veronica VNR, but nothing in the bankruptcy that Veronica fell to blame because this time and time again accounted for closing the financial holes that Quote had caused. One was with Veronica so disappointed in the expiration of VNR, that one even not want more saw in a relaunch.

The frequency was sold by the liquidator to the VNRs Manaus Group, who founded the station Talk Radio, where many employees of VNR could go to work. Some employees returned to public service broadcasting or another function got in the media. On 21 september 1998, Talk Radio further as Business News 1395 AM. This station had approximately the same format as VNR, but due to the small scale of the transmitter, became BNR be profitable.
