Public television started on October 2th 1951. There came a tv decision in where it was arranged that television-broadcasters need a license. Broadcasts had to make sure that the safety of The State and the public policy were not harmed. Broadcasts could be taken by the minister. For the transmission time de NTS came alive. In the first Televisonnota was arranged that only broadcasters within the cooperation of the NTS were allowed to broadcast. The televisiondescion of 1956 made sure that the NTS had their own licence to create the overall program. They got a minimum of 25% of the total broadcasting time. They also got the taks of the government to create neutral programmes such as ‘Het Journaal’ and sports. (OverNPO, 2016) In 1960 all of the big broadcasters had between de 400.00-500.000 The NTS stands for ‘Nederlandse Televisie Stichting’ and was the first Dutch television broadcaster and was the precursor of the current NPO and foundation NTR.
