VPRO (Dutch public radio, tv and internet – non-profit) will start promoting ‘open content’, Creative Commons music in their radio-show Wissel. This was started when the BUMA (the Dutch ASCAP) released the official podcasting costs last month in Holland. Those costs are way too high for personal podcasters (over 85 EURO each month!). So I blogged about it in Dutch and that resulted in Wissel starting with their first one-hour-radio based around free, open content music. And a small article in the VPRO Gids (see above screenshot).
This will only be the first step. I am talking about other open content projects for the Publieke Omroep here in Holland as well. So stay sharp for future updates at this blog. 2007 will be the year of free, open and… music of course :)
