OHM was one of the "2.42 broadcasters" (named after the Article 2.42 of the Mediawet, the Dutch media law, which allowed faith-based broadcasters to get airtime on radio and TV without having to have any members).
On January 1, 2016, the broadcasters in the NPO were reduced to eight,[2] and the 2.42-broadcasters, including OHM, ceased to exist. NTR became responsible for producing programming for Hindu people.[3]
