One more time viewers can The moving judge Topping on Tuesday evening at (often) the most bizarre neighborly quarrels. To Mr. John Reid the task of coming to a satisfactory statement for both parties. The announcement that the program stops came as a surprise last month. A million people watch the program every week.
Question marks with scraping TV classic The moving judge by NPO: “They hope that viewers are shocked in a long time” “
Cutbacks NPO
“We are now taking an advance with all broadcasters by cutting back twenty million euros in 2026,” Slagter said his choice to stop the program. “Let alone if that amount will be no less than 156 million in 2027. That will be a very long list of programs that will die.”
Slagter also announced that it would stop Max Pubquiz and the TV monument Because these programs would be less in line with the mission of his broadcaster than for example The Netherlands in motion.
Jan Slagter: ‘cutbacks not intended as a shock effect’
The cabinet Schoof decided to cut up to a maximum of 156 million euros. But now that this cabinet has a outgoing status, producer IDTV has not suddenly lost hope. Director Michel Nillesen: “We know that Omroep Max is saying goodbye to the moving judge with pain in his heart, so now that the cabinet has fallen, I see opportunities. But I have no concrete instructions yet. I also remain positive about the possibilities for this format at home and abroad.”

“If the cuts do not continue, we can offer the program again at the NPO,” continues Slagter. “That would of course be fantastic. But personally I believe that unfortunately the cutbacks will continue.”
156 million
The NPO receives almost a billion euros in subsidy annually, and around 200 million euros in advertising income is collected through the star. The cutbacks on the NPO of the Cabinet Schoof amounts to a maximum of 156 million euros from 2027. In anticipation of this, the NPO decided next year to put the knife in programs for 20 million euros.

Fifty million euros from the announced cutback hopes to compensate for the public broadcaster with extra star income, but whether that is allowed depends on the results of the impact analysis that the ministry currently has made of it. There is a fear that additional advertising income for the public broadcaster will be at the expense of the income of commercial media companies.
