3FM
Encyclopedia
3FM is a Dutch
radio station on the NPO which broadcasts popular music. It can be compared with BBC Radio 1
.
on 11 October 1965, to counterbalance the popular offshore station Radio Veronica
. Opinions differ on whether it was a true alternative, because it was programmed by the existing public broadcasters. The different parties therein took turns in broadcasting their idea of popular music, giving rise to a station with no true face.
Attempts were made to create harmony in the station. Starting in 1971, it hosted its own hit parade: the Hilversum 3 Top 30
. In 1978 it changed to a top 50 (Mega Top 50
). However, shortly afterwards, other stations started hosting similar shows, such as Toppop 30 by the AVRO
