A Dutch public radio station that began broadcasting on August 3, 2002, primarily featuring urban music. It targets young people aged 15 to 35, with a particular focus on youth in the Randstad region. Its musical programming encompasses mainstream pop, R&B, hip-hop, Latin, reggae, dancehall, oriental, Turkpop, Farsipop, bhangra, rai, French-African hip-hop, Mandopop, and other crossover styles. The station operates with four city editions for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague, alongside a national edition launched on September 6, 2005. The local broadcasts share a common framework program, with specific hours split into distinct local editions. These city editions are transmitted via FM in the vicinity of their respective cities. The national edition is available through DVB-T, DAB+, cable, satellite, and the internet, but not via FM. Additionally, special internet-only editions cater to specific music styles, including FunX Arab, FunX Fissa, FunX Hip Hop, FunX Latin, FunX Afro, and FunX Slow Jamz. Since 2012, Stichting FunX has been the main entity managing the station's activities on behalf of the Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO), which has funded the station since national and municipal governments largely ceased their contributions. FunX BV, a subsidiary of Stichting G4 Radio, handles local activities and advertising sales. This foundation is a collaboration of the local broadcasters in the four major cities: SALTO Omroep Amsterdam, Stichting Open Rotterdam, RTV Utrecht, and Stadsomroep Den Haag. The local FM licenses are held by these four public broadcasters, while the national version is owned by the NPO. From its inception until 2006, the national edition was affiliated with BNN, but since late 2006, the NOS board of directors, a major financier, established a direct link through the then-Stichting Colorful Radio. On July 12, 2024, the station updated its slogan from "The sound of the city" to "your city your sound" and introduced a new logo and corporate identity. The station receives approximately 3.8 million euros in subsidies and government funds, with the NOS board contributing around 2 million euros annually as of 2009. Its programming also includes news and discussions relevant to the urban scene, covering topics such as social adaptation, gender roles in professional environments, and activism against femicide, reflecting a commitment to addressing contemporary issues affecting its target demographic.
