AVROTROS (Dutch pronunciation:[ˌaːvroːˈtrɔs]) is a Dutch radio and television broadcaster that is part of theDutch public broadcasting system. It was founded in 2014 as the result of a merger between theAlgemene Vereniging Radio Omroep (AVRO) and theTelevisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS). The name AVROTROS has been used for jointly produced programmes since 1 January 2014. Since 7 September 2014, all existing AVRO and TROS programmes have also been broadcast under the name AVROTROS.[1]
Before 2014, the AVRO was housed in theAKN [nl] building inHilversum from 2000, while the TROS operated from the former Christelijk Lyceum, also in Hilversum, from 1970.[2] On 20 June 2012, it was announced that both broadcasters would move into the Wereldomroepgebouw after the merger.[3] The move was completed after a renovation on 1 January 2014.
In 2014, AVROTROS started using theVondelparkpaviljoen inAmsterdam, which had been renovated and renamed "Vondel CS".[4][5] It was opened on 13 May 2014. The building houses severalradio andtelevision studios and offers space for events and activities organised for members.
