radio-dj Wietze de Jager vertrekt plotseling van Bonaire voor zomerjob in Nederland
Kralendijk, vrijdag, 10 april 2026.
Wietze de Jager verlaat tijdelijk zijn leven op het tropische Bonaire. De bekende radio-dj keert terug naar Nederland voor een driedaagse ochtendshow op 100% NL. Hij doet dat samen met zijn langjarige partner Chris Bergström. Na twee jaar in de Caribbean start hij opnieuw in de studio. Zijn familie keert met hem mee. Voor de kinderen is Nederland zelf al een avontuur. De Jager noemt het een droomjob, ondanks de cultuukschock. Hij mist Bonaire nu al, maar ziet zijn Nederlandse familie graag terug. Het programma is bedoeld als een luchtige zomeropfrisbeurt voor luisteraars. Meer details over de uitzending volgen binnenkort.
temporary return to dutch airwaves
Radio-dj Wietze de Jager leaves Bonaire temporarily for a summer stint in the Netherlands. He joins longtime collaborator Chris Bergström to host the morning show on 100% NL. The program fills in for vacation hosts Giorgio Hokstam and Ingrid Jansen during peak summer months [1]. This marks a brief shift from island life back to national broadcasting for De Jager, who relocated to the Caribbean two years ago [1]. His return focuses on creating light entertainment for Dutch listeners seeking holiday energy.
family moves with dj to europe
De Jager relocates with his family from Bonaire to the Netherlands for the duration of the project. His wife Lieke and their children accompany him on the journey [2]. The family expresses mixed emotions about leaving friends behind on the tropical island [2]. At the same time, reconnecting with relatives in Europe brings excitement [2]. For the children, mainland Europe already feels like an adventure despite the upcoming travel schedule [2]. Adjusting to cooler weather after years in the Caribbean poses a cultural shift.
career roots and radio reunion
Before moving to Bonaire, De Jager built a prominent career in Dutch radio. He co-hosted the popular Mattie & Wietze show on Qmusic alongside Mattie Valk [1]. In 2018 he transitioned to Radio 538 where he worked frequently with Chris Bergström [1]. Their partnership forms the foundation of the new 100% NL program. Both see the station’s emphasis on family-friendly music as fitting their current life stage [1]. Bergström also contributes experience from successful podcast ventures to the collaboration.
host describes role as dream assignment
Despite settling into island life, De Jager states his passion for radio never faded [1]. He calls the 100% NL opportunity the most enjoyable vacation job in the Netherlands [1]. Re-entering the broadcast booth requires adjustment after years away [1]. Still, he looks forward to starting early mornings with enthusiastic listeners [1]. Exact broadcast dates remain unannounced pending further coordination with the network [1]. The atmosphere promises warmth drawn from both Caribbean ease and Dutch familiarity.
