NPO Radio 2 announced on Thursday that Evelien de Bruijn and Eddy Keur will no longer feature in its programming for 2027. The public announcement examined confirms their departure, but does not cite budget cuts as the cause.
The station is changing part of its weekend schedule together with the broadcasters. On Friday evenings, Tim Op het Broek and Anneli Verhees will jointly present Vrijdagcafé. On Sunday afternoons, Jorien Renkema will take the slot from 12:00 to 15:00, followed by Klaas van Kruistum until 18:00.
Tannaz Hajeby will remain on air on Saturdays and Sundays between 06:00 and 09:00. Organisational responsibility for her programme will move from Omroep MAX to KRO-NCRV. Radiowereld confirms these changes in a report dated 15 October.
Station manager Suzanne Straatsburg thanks De Bruijn and Keur for their dedication in the announcement. The announcement provides no information about the terms of their departure or any specific saving. The cause cited in the supplied news headline could not be sufficiently confirmed within the search budget; this report therefore remains limited to the announced changes.
