 In 2014 The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS organised the selection process for the Netherlands ' Eurovision entrant and broadcast the event nationally . AVROTROS had been formed in January 2014 when the Dutch government merged former public broadcasters TROS , who had organised the Dutch entry between 2010 and 2013 , and AVRO . Various methods have been used to select the Dutch entry in the past , such as the Nationaal Songfestival , a live televised national final to choose either the performer , the song or both that would compete at Eurovision . However , internal selections had also been held on occasions , which was the method of selection for the Dutch entry in 2013 . An internal selection would again be used in 2014 by AVROTROS .
