Facebook - Twitter - LinkedIn **After media companies, [RTL](https://omniplayer.com/rtl-belgium-selects-omniplayer-3-as-new-radio-production-and-playout-system/), [DPG](https://omniplayer.com/dpg-media-belgium-expands-use-of-omniplayer-radio-software-at-fm-stations/) and [Mediahuis](https://omniplayer.com/mediahuis-belgium-invests-in-future-by-choosing-omniplayer/), Flemish broadcaster [VRT](https://www.vrt.be/nl/) will now also start using OmniPlayer at her radio stations in Flanders. The Dutch OmniPlayer 3 Radio Automation Software system will replace the existing production and broadcast system for several radio stations at VRT.** Flemish public broadcast corporation [VRT](https://www.vrt.be/nl/) will start using the Dutch OmniPlayer system for their stations [Radio 1](https://radio1.be/), [Radio 2](https://radio2.be/), [Klara](https://klara.be/),[MNM](https://mnm.be/), [Studio Brussel](https://stubru.be/), streaming, DAB+ channels, VRT Nieuwsdienst and [Sporza](https://sporza.be/nl/). The existing systems for the production and broadcasting of radio shall be replaced by OmniPlayer 3. This investment is partially inspired by the technological changes that are coming soon, in perspective of the new office building. Wim Ermens, project manager technology at VRT: ‘We were ready for a future proof, new system for the production and broadcasting of radio. OmniPlayer came forward as the best possibility for our radio stations. Besides replacing our existing system, we’ll also be focusing on a more accessible user interface for our different editorial teams and studios, a connection will be made with the iNews editorial system via MOS, an integration with Musicmaster and with Radiomanager by [Pluxbox](https://pluxbox.com/). We’re looking forward to this cooperation, as it isn’t simply an upgrade, technology-wise, but it is also a great step for our radio makers.’ Peter van Klei, commercial director of [M&I Broadcast Services](https://www.mibroadcastservices.nl/), is enthusiastic about the choice made by VRT. ‘With VRT, we now have four major Belgian media companies using our radio automation and playout system. And that makes us proud! With the commissioning of OmniPlayer, the different stations within VRT really can make strides in the coming years. The OmniPlayer API will take on an important role for web-based interfaces for the studios and other integrations.’ VRT will be replacing their existing production, playout and broadcasting system for the OmniPlayer 3 technology later this year.
