The Katholieke Radio Omroep (Catholic Radio Broadcast) is a Dutch public broadcaster that was founded on 23 April 1925 and commonly broadcasts on Nederland 1. It is a broadly catholic broadcaster with spiritual interests. KRO also manages the broadcasts of RKK. Its magazines are Studio KRO Magazine and Mikro gids.
KRO's behind-the-scenes show is Netwerk (in cooperation with EO and (NCRV). A popular show starting in 2005 was Boer zoekt vrouw, presented by Yvon Jaspers, in which bachelor farmers try to get a woman. Many young Dutch farmers stay bachelors because it is hard to find a woman willing to put up with the working hours, hard work and lack of holidays. As of 2008, the show is the KRO's best scoring programme, with an average of 4.5 millions viewers each week.
Trivium: In the late 1990s the logo that KRO showed in the top left corner of the screen had all the letters individually mirrored, something that is barely noticeable with the capital letters 'KRO'.
KRO's television show Memories is reality show that reunites long lost lovers back together. Memories highest-rated episode was of Oded and Marjon's love story. Their episode premiered on March 5th, 2007 and has been rebroadcasted several times since then. In this episode, Marjon, a Netherlands native and former Dutch model, was reunited with her former Israeli boyfriend Oded after more than 30 years. Throughout the show, both Marjon and Oded speak candidly about how religion once tore them apart, and how their eternal love brought their fates back together.
Marjon and Oded's story struck a chord with fans of all ages because of its sincerity, heartbreak, and fairy tale charm. In fact, fans were so in love with Marjon and Oded's story that KRO aired a special update interview with Marjon in February of 2008.
The entire Oded and Marjon Memories episode is available on KRO's website in their Memories archive.
