The international program Sundays commenced in 1928, with host Eddie Startz hosting the ''[[Happy Station Show|Happy Station]]'' show, which became the world's longest-running shortwave program.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}} Broadcasts from the Netherlands were interrupted by the German invasion in May 1940. The Germans commandeered the transmitters in [[Huizen]] to use for pro-[[Nazi broadcasts]], some originating from Germany, others concerts from Dutch broadcasters under German control.

In the early 1930s, Philips introduced the "Chapel", a radio with a built-in loudspeaker.

Philips Radio was absorbed shortly after [[Emancipation|liberation]] when its two shortwave stations were nationalized in 1947 and renamed [[Radio Netherlands Worldwide]], the Dutch International Service. Some PCJ programs, such as ''Happy Station'', continued on the new station.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}}
