RPL Woerden is a local public broadcaster from Woerden, a historic city in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands. The Netherlands has one of the world's most developed local broadcasting systems — virtually every municipality has its own local radio and TV station funded through public media contributions. This hyperlocal media tradition ensures communities maintain their own voice in an increasingly globalized media landscape.
Woerden (population ~53,000) sits in the "Green Heart" (Groene Hart) of the Randstad — the ring of major Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht) that forms one of Europe's most densely populated urban areas. Despite being surrounded by major cities, the Green Heart remains remarkably rural and agricultural. Woerden's famous cheese market, held every Saturday in summer, has been a tradition since the Middle Ages.
