BVN offers the best programmes of the public service broadcaster in the Netherlands (NPO), making it the top Dutch-language public TV station abroad. BVN is free and available all over the world via the BVN app and the livestream at our website and largely via satellite.

BVN broadcasts through several satellites and can be received in the overseas territories belonging to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but also elsewhere in Central and South America and a large part of the United States.
