{{further|Media Park (Hilversum)}}
Hilversum is often called "media city", since it is the principal centre for radio and television broadcasting in the Netherlands, and is home to an extensive complex of radio and television [[studio]]s and to the administrative headquarters of the multiple broadcasting organizations which make up the [[Netherlands Public Broadcasting]] system. Hilversum is also home to many newer commercial TV production companies. [[Radio Netherlands]], which had been broadcasting worldwide via [[shortwave radio]] since the 1920s, was also based in Hilversum until it was dissolved in 2013.

One result of the town's history as an important radio transmission centre is that many older radio sets throughout Europe featured ''Hilversum'' as a pre-marked dial position on their tuning scales.

Dutch national voting in the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] is normally co-ordinated from Hilversum.
