The channel was mainly aimed at a young audience (13–34 years) and broadcasts programmes for this target group 24 hours a day. The programmes that are broadcast partly repeats of (especially) BNNVARA programmes and other broadcasters, but also new (experimental) programmes who still can not hear or visit an "open channel".

Interaction with the viewers should be an important element in the future types of NPO 101. In this interactive nature of the channel is also the origin of the name: 1-0-1 stands for one-on-one or "een-op-een".

101TV had an agreement with 3FM to broadcast remarkable radio fragments and whole broadcasts GI:EL. In addition, every year Serious Request is also broadcast live.

On 26 March 2018 NPO 101 was renamed by NPO 3 Extra.[2]

It ceased broadcasting on 25 December 2018 to concentrate on web-streaming only.[3][4][5] Its frequencies were taken over by NPO Zappelin Extra, which was previously timesharing with NPO 1 Extra.
