The Dutch public broadcasting system is a collection of organisations responsible for public service television and radio broadcasting in the Netherlands. It consists of the Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO) foundation, which serves as its governing body, and a number of public broadcasting organisations. The Media Act 2008 regulates the division of airtime and assigns the NPO board of directors responsibility for administering the public broadcasting system. In addition to national broadcasters, the Netherlands also has regional and local public broadcasters.
