Stichting Regionale Publieke Omroep (RPO), or the Regional Public Broadcasting Foundation,[1] is the umbrella organisation of regional public broadcasters in the Netherlands. It is tasked with the promotion of co-operation between regional broadcasters, and represents their interests on a national and international level.[2] The purpose and organisation of the RPO is similar to the NPO (for national broadcasters) and the NLPO (for local broadcasters).[3]
History
[edit]The RPO was founded on 31 May 2016 by its predecessor, Stichting Regionale Omroep Overleg en Samenwerking (ROOS, lit. 'Regional Broadcasting Consultation and Co-operation Foundation').[4] Its formation was the result of an adaptation of the Media Act 2008, initiated by the second Rutte cabinet.[2] The ROOS, which had been established in 1988, legally merged into the RPO on 1 July 2017.[5][6]
The RPO is a member of CIRCOM.[7] On 1 February 2021, Jan Müller was appointed executive director of the RPO.[8]
Duties
[edit]The RPO is charged with the following duties, as set down in article 2.60a of the Media Act 2008:[1]
- promoting co-operation and co-ordination with regard to the execution of the public media task at the regional level;
- looking after matters of common interest to the regional public media service and the regional public media institutions;
- concluding collective agreements and establishing standards for the remuneration of freelancers, also on behalf of regional public media institutions;
- promoting the efficient use of the funds intended for the provision and distribution of the media content and promoting integrated financial reporting and accountability;
- establishing, maintaining, managing, operating and regulating the use of bodies, services and facilities, including studios and distribution infrastructures, necessary for the proper execution of the public media task at the regional level;
- other duties entrusted to it by law.
