Career

In 1975, Blom made his television debut as an announcer at The Johnny Kraaijkamp Show. Later, he was a presenter of the record program De Eerste de Beste (together with Walter Tiemessen). From 1983, Blom was a commentator and co-presenter at Te land, ter zee en in de lucht, together with Tom Mulder and Jack van Gelder.[2]

In 1989, he halted these activities after switching to Joop van den Ende's television channel TV10, which eventually ceased to exist due to poor ratings. In 2000, Blom returned as a commentator at Te land, ter zee en in de lucht until the show's ultimate cancellation in 2011.

Blom died on 3 July 2017 at the age of 70.[3]
