== As a TV channel in Hungary ==

'''RTL+''' is a [[Hungarian]] [[general entertainment]] [[television channel]], owned by RTL Group. It launched on [[May 1]], [[2014]] as the successor of Prizma TV.

Its channel sound was József Kerekes as Poén!, then as Prizma, and from [[2014]] to [[2016]] was Anna Orosz. His current voice is Artúr Kálid. However, some recommendations are made with the voice of Sorozat+, Zsuzsa Ullmann.

The channel's advertising time is sold by R-Time.

=== History ===

On [[April 2]] [[2008]], it started broadcasting as Poén!. The channel was launched by IKO Kábeltévé Kft., and was legally under the supervision of the [[Romanian]] media authority. From [[December 20]], [[2010]], it continued to operate under the name Prizma with a new look and even more content. Mainly from [[RTL Klub]]'s archives, it featured mainly entertainment shows, and later appeared with new series. In [[July]] [[2011]], together with other 6 IKO channels, it became a property of RTL Group in Hungary. From [[January 2014]], content not seen on Prizma was also screened, and at the end of [[February]], it was announced that the channel would be renamed in the spring. It became clear in [[March]] that it would continue to operate under the name '''RTL+''' from [[1 May]].

On [[March 1]], [[2016]], the channel received a new, even more colorful image.

In [[2019]], it broadcasted [[E-sports]] events, starting everyday at 22:00, in its magazine E-mánia, co-produced with the online TV channel, Esport1.

From [[2020]], it broadcasts a programming block called ''Igazi Krimi'' on the channel, with purchased content and, among other things, the reality series ''Bűnös lelkek'' originally made for [[RTL Klub]].

The channel launched a HD version in [[September]] [[2021]].

From the fall of [[2021]] until [[2024]], the channel will be the mediator of the [[UEFA Europa League]] and the brand new [[UEFA Europa Conference League]]. In the first year, after M4 Sport, which broadcasts the meetings of Ferencváros in the EL team group of 32 teams, RTL+ has the right to choose for the second time. (Between [[2015]] and [[2018]], the company acquired the more expensive number one package for [[RTL II (Hungary)|RTL II]], but the Hungarian club did not reach the 48-team field during this period.) It is an innovation in Hungary that some matches only on the paid streaming platform - RTL Most+ - are displayed.
