BNR Nieuwsradio is a Dutch commercial radio station focused on news and business. Founded in 1998 as Business Nieuws Radio, it was rebranded to BNR Nieuwsradio in 2004 after being acquired by FD Mediagroep. The station broadcasts 24/7 news programming, with live news bulletins every half hour during peak hours.
BNR's programming includes in-depth coverage of domestic and international news, financial markets, politics, and current affairs. The station targets business professionals and entrepreneurs, providing analysis and context beyond the headlines.
In addition to radio broadcasts, BNR has expanded its digital presence with podcasts, a website, and mobile apps. The station's studios are located in Amsterdam, where it shares facilities with Het Financieele Dagblad newspaper.
As the only commercial all-news radio station in the Netherlands, BNR Nieuwsradio plays a unique role in the Dutch media landscape, competing primarily with the public broadcaster NPO Radio 1.
