NPO Zappelin
NPO Zappelin is a Dutch television program block for children that launched as Z@ppelin in September 2000.[1] Before Z@ppelin, the programmes were scheduled on all three public channels (Nederland 1, Nederland 2 and Nederland 3). On 4 September 2005, Z@ppelin became a channel for children aged 2-6 years.[2] The @ in the name of the channel was dropped on 10 September 2012.[3] On 12 March 2013, the NPO announced that Zapp and Zappelin would be renamed as NPO Zapp and NPO Zappelin. The reason for this change is to make the channels and its programmes more recognizable.[4] The rebranding completed on 19 August 2014.[5] Together with NPO Zapp it broadcasts on NPO 3 during daytime. It is also part of the 24-hour children's channel NPO Zappelin Xtra.
