Yep...
I never looked into it, but the history of TV here goes back to the '30's! In '51, the first official channel was started. Most of the largest broadcasting associations were started then.

Unlike most other countries' public broadcasting organizations – which are either national corporations (such as the BBC and France Télévisions / Radio France), federations of regional public-law bodies (for example, ARD, SRG SSR idée suisse), or governmental and member-based institutions with their own channels and facilities (such as PBS) – those in the Netherlands are member-based broadcasting associations that share common facilities. This arrangement has its origins in the system developed in the Netherlands early in the 20th century and known as pillarisation. Under this system the different confessional and political streams of Dutch society (Catholics, Protestants, socialists, etc.) all had their own separate associations, newspapers, sports clubs, educational institutions, and also broadcasting organizations.

So, no propaganda from only one party here....
In 1965, the second channel was introduced and in '87 or '88 the third. And in '89 the first commercial channel was started.
