Nearly 7,000 people have a chance to be the new voice of the NOS radio program With an eye to tomorrow to become. At the beginning of this month it was announced that Hans Hogendoorn from Diever will stop as a voice after being heard in every broadcast for 48 years.

He signed the iconic introductions with the form “it’s 2 degrees outside, inside is…”, followed by the name of one of the changing presenters.

The editors of the radio program created a tool with which anyone with the ambition to succeed Hogendoorn could recently submit a text. Within a week there were already 5,000 entries. Due to the success, the deadline was brought forward by a week and a half, to last Sunday. The counter eventually rose to almost 7,000, writes the NOS.

The jury, which in addition to Wallenburg also includes presenter Rob Trip, deputy editor-in-chief Bart Leferink of NOS News and Fernando Halman of Zapp and FunX, is emphatically not looking for a copy of Hans Hogendoorn. “Hans is irreplaceable, his sound was essentially that of the old village crier, you don’t find that anymore,” said jury chairman Trip at the launch of the ‘competition’.
