Description
Arrow Classic Rock has spent about thirty years as the leading rock station in the Netherlands, running classic and modern rock around the clock from Noordwijk. It lost its FM licence in 2009 and now reaches listeners over DAB+, cable and the internet instead. Regular fixtures include the Arrow Classic Rock Cafe of listener requests, a weekly blues and blues-rock hour, and the annual Arrow Rock 500, a countdown voted for by the audience and replayed between Christmas and New Year.

Contact route
a contact form with name, email and message plus a subject selector covering general questions, technical problems and the station's own Rock 500 list; a published station email address and a separate named-person address; a studio and office telephone number; a postal address in Noordwijk; and its own Facebook, Instagram and Twitter/X accounts. Found by fetching the site's lazy-loaded ContactPage JavaScript chunk, whose filename I read from the main bundle, because the pages render client-side and the served HTML for the contact page carries only its metadata. The station's own programme pages also describe a weekly show built on listener request records.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| the two email addresses, the telephone number and the street address in that chunk | route types only, never contact values.
source |
| nothing | the figure is printed on the station's own about page, which contradicts the briefing's guess that Arrow may be online-only

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
