Founded in 1926 as the | Founded in 1926 as the '''V'''rijzinnig '''P'''rotestantse '''R'''adio '''O'''mroep (Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcasting Corporation), the organization started broadcasting radio programs commissioned to Protestantism themes. By the 1960's, however, a new generation of program creators managed to get a statute modification, which resulted in the "flower power generation" getting the leadership of the company. VPRO started to get in charge of airing culturally relevant programs, documentaries and films, as they started airing through the public Dutch TV stations. Today, VPRO aims for a demographic oriented at highly creative and educated people. | ||
