HUMO is a popular Belgian weekly radio and television magazine, written in Dutch.
Originally the magazine was titled Humoradio, a portmanteau of 'humor' and 'radio'.
Humoradio was first published in 1936 as a Dutch language counterpart to "Le Moustique", now Télémoustique.[1] During World War II between 1940 and 1944 it was not published. In 1958, when television started to reach a larger audience, the magazine was renamed to Humo.[2]
HUMO organizes Humo's Rock Rally, an important Belgian contest for young rock bands,[3] and sponsors the Rock Werchter festival.
