KRO Studio is the weekly broadcasting guide of the Catholic Radio Broadcasting Company KRO. This guide was originally called KRO Studio, later KRO Magazine.

After the introduction of television, KRO Studio became the broadcaster's colorful program magazine. It was a large format, with color covers and extensive articles inside the magazine starting in the 1960s.

From 1963 onwards, Leo Creton and Willem de Vet designed the program magazine, and in 1967 they introduced a completely new, sleekly designed program magazine with the new name "Studio." The bright program pages were particularly striking: crisp black letters on a clean white background, providing a clear overview of the day's television programs.

In 1974, the broadcaster decided to introduce the much cheaper Mikro guide for members and for sale in newsstands, tobacconists, and supermarkets. Since then, the Mikro guide has easily surpassed the KRO Studio/magazine in circulation.

In the first decade of this century, the name changed from KRO Studio to KRO Magazine. Today, the magazine is printed in a smaller format than in the 1970s, in color, and on premium paper.

Even after the merger with the NCRV in 2019, KRO magazine continued to exist. Like the NCRV guide, it is no longer available in supermarkets, newsstands, or magazines, but is only available to members. While both guides will continue to exist, their content will become increasingly aligned. Starting in 2025, both guides will have nearly identical covers and many of the same interviews and articles.
