AVROTROS (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌaːvroːˈtrɔs]) is a public broadcaster within the Dutch public broadcasting system. It officially launched on 1 January 2014 as the result of a merger between the Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep (AVRO) and the Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS). From 7 September 2014 onward, all programmes of both organisations were broadcast exclusively under the AVROTROS name. The broadcaster positions itself as a general-audience, politically and religiously neutral organisation, with programming centred on accessible culture and contributing to an informed, safe and fair society.
