On 12 March 2013, the NPO announced that Zapp and Zappelin would be renamed as NPO Zapp and NPO Zappelin. The reason for this change is to make the channels and its programmes more recognizable.[3] The rebranding completed on 19 August 2014.[4] Together with NPO Zappelin it forms a channel called NPO Zappelin Extra, available online and part of bonus packages (cable, satellite and IPTV).
Well-known programmes of NPO Zapp are Willem Wever (KRO-NCRV), Het Klokhuis (NTR), Jeugdjournaal (NOS) and Villa Achterwerk (VPRO).
NPO Zapp had a mascot called The Zappers.[5]
