NPO 1 Extra online - Television live

NPO 1 Extra Live Stream

NPO 1 Extra is a digital theme channel of the Dutch public broadcasting system, on air since 1 December 2006 on the initiative of the television maker Han Peekel. The channel shows programmes broadcast by the public broadcasters over the past sixty years, drawn largely from the archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum. Before taking its current name it was known as HilversumBest, Best 24 and NPO Best.

A Channel of Dutch TV Memory

The archive grid has moved with the times: from 2012 it focused mainly on programmes from the 1980s and 1990s, and since 1 August 2016 chiefly on programmes from the 2000s. For years the channel kept a fixed early-evening line-up with the daily soap Onderweg Naar Morgen and the comedy series Zeg 'ns AAA, alongside titles such as Flikken Maastricht, Tussen Kunst & Kitsch, De Schreeuw van de Leeuw, Eén tegen 100, the TROS TV Show and Barend en Witteman. Between August 2016 and December 2018 the channel shared its airtime with NPO Zapp Xtra; since 25 December 2018 it has again programmed a full 24 hours.

Sign Language and Own Productions

Since 1 October 2022 NPO 1 Extra has been the regular home of the sign-language broadcasts of Dutch public news - the NOS Jeugdjournaal and the eight o'clock news with an interpreter - a role it took over after the closure of NPO Nieuws. The channel also makes its own productions with the broadcasters: the daily talk show Na het Nieuws with Renze Klamer (2018-2020) and TV Monument, in which Han Peekel has portrayed well-known Dutch television personalities since the channel's launch.
