Its been in the pipeline for years; now it’s on the web. The Dutch international broadcaster has cleverly packed a mountain of content into its new web pages, folding pages and entire indexes into collapsible compartments. The subject headings are active links that take you to an index page for that topic.
There is a lot of content you wont easily find anywhere else, e.g. the daily review of the main stories in the Dutch newspapers. Apart from the extensive Current Affairs archive, you can find Dutch Horizons which deals with everything to do with the Netherlands.
Every programme from the past week can be downloaded; every major feature programme is available online indefinitely, connected to a web story. The web site also supports RNs traditional broadcasting role, with details on what programmes are coming up next and how to tune in.
Importantly, there is a Feedback section. And you can even check on the Dutch weather with the webcam perched on the PTT telecommunications tower behind the Radio Netherlands building in Hilversum.
