Kompas Publishing has acquired the remaining shares of Hi Label, making it the full owner of the media company. Previously, in June 2024, Kompas had already acquired a majority stake. The acquisition aligns with the expansion of its portfolio in the lifestyle segment.

Hi Label operates titles such as MAN MAN, FEM FEM, Girlscene, Pure Luxe, F1Max, and Gewoonvoorhem.nl. These brands focus on themes like fashion, grooming, motorsports, and luxury, and cater to audiences of (young) men and women.

The editorial teams of Hi Label and Kompas Publishing will be integrated. The combination of content and campaign structures is intended to create a more consistent offering within the network. The acquisition also increases the reach for integrated campaigns via display, video, and social media.

The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has approved the acquisition of RTL Nederland by DPG Media. As of July 1, 2025, RTL Nederland will officially become part of DPG. With this acquisition, DPG Media enters the Dutch television and streaming market.

Roularta Media Netherlands adjusts the format of two of its titles.
Starting with issue 10, which will be published on 19 September 2025, Landleven will be released in a new format of 210 x 285 mm. This magazine offers practical information and inspiration about outdoor living, gardening, cooking, and crafts. It reflects the authentic rural lifestyle in the Netherlands. In 2025, Landleven will publish 11 regular issues and 6 Landleven Specials.

Starting September 1, 2025, the regional radio landscape in the Netherlands will change. Due to the auction of non-national commercial FM and DAB+ frequencies, radio stations and their broadcast areas have been reorganized.

The number of FM lots has been halved from 54 to 27, now better aligned with the digital DAB+ layout. This leads to more efficient and broader coverage. Ten parties have received new licenses, valid until 2035. Among them are both familiar and new names, such as GLXY Radio (hip hop, Randstad), Simone FM (now in six provinces), Grand Prix Radio (South Holland), and Sunrise FM.

A key change is that national radio brands are no longer allowed to use regional FM frequencies. As a result, stations like Radio 10 Brabant and Qmusic Limburg will disappear from the airwaves in those regions.

These changes create new advertising opportunities and broader digital coverage via DAB+.

Starting June 16, 2025, more influencers will fall under the supervision of the Dutch Media Authority (Commissariaat voor de Media). The previous threshold of 500,000 followers will be removed, meaning smaller influencers — such as micro-influencers — will also be subject to regulation. This applies to video creators on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok who upload at least 24 videos per year, benefit from these activities, and are registered with the Chamber of Commerce. They must be transparent about advertising, consider the interests of minors, and clearly disclose their identity. This change aligns with efforts to ensure a safe online environment for young people. The Media Authority will collaborate with other regulators and European partners in this initiative.

The magazine is published by 100% NL Magazine BV, which also manages its advertising sales.

On October 19, the first episode of Het Jachtseizoen: Most Wanted became available on Videoland, marking StukTV's first show since their transition to this platform. This move means that ads around StukTV programs are now exclusively sold through Ad Alliance, including ads on their social media, in collaboration with We Are Era. Richard Knaap from Ad Alliance states that StukTV, with over 2.5 million YouTube subscribers, is an important online entertainment channel in the Netherlands that aligns well with the content on Videoland.
