The NPS has the box promised that books will get into the culture program that is broadcast from April 2004. daily weekly attention Furthermore, does the NPS on a book program on Sunday afternoon along the lines of ‘The Big Read’ the BBC for the next program year (2004-2005). These plans were discussed at a review meeting of the program ‘Books on Sunday’ with NPS, IdtV-Dits and sponsors.

The evaluation was not at all present in good soil. Not only because the pilot television Books on Sunday because of cuts will not progress, which was originally called the design. Caroline Damwijk of Intres shot especially the attitude of the NPS in the wrong way, because the NPS announced prefer not to talk to sponsors of programs because they have commercial interests. Damwijk found this an insult to the address of Ireen Ditshuyzen of IdtV-Dits, who has done to get Books on Sunday on the tube and great difficulty has lobbied enormous potential sponsors’ before. Moreover, they find it unacceptable for the NPS pilot Books on Sunday does not continue, so that the Netherlands does not have a full book program.
Chairman of the meeting, Christiaan van Willenswaard of Reading Foundation , had the idea to sit between two fires: the NPS was reluctant because of cuts and new targets, the book that had an assertive attitude because she wants a book program on television
According to Van Willenswaard wants. NPS or listen to the input of the book in its entirety, but stressed that they want to make the NPS of the program. The NPS was the impression that IdtV-Dits should meet the needs of sponsors. Meet This was a misunderstanding.
From Willenswaard is disappointed in the short term that the pilot of six episodes is not continued, but welcomes the new plans of the NPS. Where the money for a book program in the 2004-2005 season will come, is still a mystery to everyone. (FS)
