KRO, or Katholieke Radio Omroep (Catholic Radio Broadcasting), is a Dutch public broadcasting organization founded on 23 April 1925. Broadly Catholic in its spiritual outlook, KRO broadcasts the bulk of its television output on the Nederland 1 channel. KRO is also responsible for managing broadcasts made by the Catholic Church in the Netherlands. KRO publishes the magazines Studio KRO Magazine and Mikro gids.
Programmes
On television, KRO's "behind-the-news" show is Netwerk, which it produces in cooperation with EO and (NCRV.
A popular show which KRO began in 2005 is Boer zoekt vrouw (Farmer seeks wife), presented by Yvon Jaspers. Many Dutch farmers remain single because they find it hard to find a woman sufficiently willing to put up with the long hours, hard work, and lack of holidays which the farming life requires. As of 2008, this show, which aims to remedy that situation, is the KRO's highest-rated TV programme, achieving an average weekly viewership of 4.5 million.
