VTM NIEUWS asks viewers: always summer time or always winter time?
Published
VTM NIEUWS wants to involve its viewers even more in the news. To do so, there is a new segment: the 'Question of the Day'. During the news broadcast, viewers can share their opinion live on a question that is central that day.
Today's question concerns the clock change. Twice a year in Belgium, we change the clocks. In spring, we move forward one hour, to summer time. In autumn, we move back one hour, to winter time. Many people find this annoying, but there are also various opinions about the solution.
Viewers can therefore choose: would they prefer to always have summer time or always have winter time? The viewers' answer will be announced during the news broadcast. That way, everyone can see what the majority of viewers think.
The discussion about the clock change is not new. In the European Union, there has been a debate for years about abolishing the time change. Member states have not yet made a definitive decision about which time should be used throughout the year.
For VTM NIEUWS, the 'Question of the Day' is a way to actively involve the public in thinking along. Anyone who wants to take part can cast their vote during the broadcast. The result is then presented in the news program.
