'''RTL+''' is a [[Hungary|Hungarian]] general entertainment [[television channel]], owned by [[RTL Group]]. It launched on May 1, 2014, as the current 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.

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 [[Romania]]n media authority. From December 20, 2010, it continued to operate under the name Prizma, with new idents, logo and more content. Mainly from [[RTL Klub]]'s archives, it featured mostly entertainment shows, and later appeared with new series. In July 2011, along with other 6 IKO channels, it became a property of [[RTL Group]] in Hungary. From January 2014, content not seen on Prizma was also aired, and at the end of February, it was announced that the channel would be renamed in the spring. In March, it became clear that continues to operate under the name '''RTL+''' from May 1, 2014. Its headquarters became [[Luxembourg]] in 2015, and, at the same time, it uses [[Television content rating system|Hungarian rating system]] from NMHH.
On March 1, 2016, the channel received a new, more colorful ident.
In 2019, it broadcast [[E-sports]] events, starting everyday at 22:00, in its magazine called ''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''Igazi Krimi'' on the channel, with purchased content and, among these shows, the reality series ''Bűnös lelkek'' originally made for [[RTL Klub]].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 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.

RTL+ (formerly TVNOW) is a German video on demand streaming service belonging to RTL Deutschland, in turn part of the Bertelsmann-dominated RTL Group.

Its origins trace back to the launch of the 'RTLnow.de' portal in 2007.[1][2] In 2016, all the video portals corresponding to the different channels of the TV network merged into TVNOW.[3] From 4 November 2021 on, the new identity of RTL+ replaced that of TVNOW.[4] At the time, TVNOW was providing a three-layered service (Free, Premium and Premium Duo), having about 2 million paid subscription users, making around 3.4 million users together with Dutch RTL branch Videoland.[5][6]
