Nieuwsuur (News Hour) is a Dutch television program about current affairs and sports that is broadcast by the public broadcasters NOS and NTR, presented by Twan Huys and Mariëlle Tweebeeke. It is broadcast daily between 10pm and 11pm (10-10:30pm at weekends) on NPO 2.

History

As early as 2008 there were plans for a new news programme, combining NOVA, the NOS Journaal and The Hague Today. The plan for this programme was rejected by the NPO board of directors after complaints from other broadcasters, as was the cooperation between the membership-based broadcaster VARA and the public broadcasters NPS and NOS. This was because the concept of the programme, an objective and independent news programme, was in conflict with the new plans of the NPO to give the individual public broadcasters a more individual character.

The Algemeen Dagblad reported in November 2009 that the NOS wished to cease production of NOVA, as NOS management did not consider the programme to be objective or neutral enough. At the end of January 2010, it was announced that NOVA and current affairs programme Netwerk would end at the start of autumn 2010, and that Nieuwsuur would replace NOVA from 6 September 2010.[1]
