NPO apology abrupt end of Eva talk show, Digi Mart USA News (Netherlands): Marnix van Egmond, editor-in-chief of the Dutch program Eva, told the newspaper AD that a “technical error at the NPO” caused the broadcast to end a few seconds too early. “As a result, our broadcast was accidentally ended a few seconds too early.”
He said the episode was not too long. “We were exactly at the required 47 minutes.” He added that the team was not upset about the incident, saying, “It can happen.”
A spokesperson for the NPO also said the problem occurred during the switch to the NOS Journaal news broadcast. “We understand this is annoying for everyone who followed this conversation.
We are looking into how this could happen. Our apologies.”
In the interview, host Eva spoke with actor Pierre Bokma about his role as Rembrandt van Rijn in the film Spinoza. They also discussed a biography being written about him and Bokma’s hope for a role in GTST.
He said, “I don’t know whether it could happen in the short term, but in principle I would like to work on a short storyline for a week,” referring to his wish to enter Meerdijk. “I want to know how it works.
All those people are doing their best, and they have a large audience. I have seen people who appeared briefly and had a really good time.”
Shortly after Bokma’s remarks, the broadcast was cut off. The full episode can still be viewed on NPO Start.
Viewers on television did not hear Eva say: “Pierre, it was a pleasure to see you again. The film Spinoza opens in cinemas on November 19.
Thank you for watching, and see you tomorrow.”
Social media users reacted to the sudden ending, with several asking why the program had ended without an announcement and whether it had run over time.
