Today is National Day of Action for Earthquake Victims in Turkey and Syria. We also join forces on radio and television to raise as much money as possible. Media Museum Sound & Vision in Hilversum is the action center of Giro555. What is organized? NU.nl lists the actions.
Television
NPO, RTL and Talpa are making a joint television program that will only be broadcast on NPO1 from 8.35 pm. Chantal Janzen presents the special TV show. Jeroen Pauw and Eva Jinek have conversations with guests in the studio.
During the broadcast, there is a regular switch to the action center in Hilversum. There Hila Noorzai, Wendy van Dijk and Herman van der Zandt report on the course of the action and interview well-known Dutch people in the call panel.
Thomas Erdbrink, Nicolette van Dam and Edson da Graça are some of the two hundred well-known Dutch people who are on the call panel. Daphne Bunskoek, Art Rooijakkers and Yeliz Çiçek will also take place in the action center, as will mayors Jan van Zanen and Ahmed Aboutaleb.
Karsu (who lost several family members due to the earthquakes) and Frank Boeijen, among others, will give performances. Johnny de Mol made reports of actions in the Netherlands for the program in recent days.
The end result of the action day can be followed live on NPO, RTL and SBS6.
Radio
Radio stations also pay attention to Giro555. DJs from various radio stations are on the call panel in Sound & Vision. Special radio spots are also broadcast.
Radio station FunX is the national campaign channel throughout the day and kicks off the fundraising campaign at 5:55 am.
On the online and DAB+ radio station NPO Sterren NL, various Dutch artists auction items for charity. For example, you can bid on a Toppers jacket by René Froger, a platinum record by Mart Hoogkamer, a dinner with Frans Bauer and Sieneke and you can go sailing with Wolter Kroes.
Radio station KINK and pop stage Hedon are organizing a benefit evening in Zwolle. Blaudzun, Paceshifters, Orange Skyline and the band Wodan Boys from The Hague will perform there. The cards of 10 euros and more are available via the Hedon website.
