history
It was first broadcast on January 23, 1955 under the name Télé Luxembourg . The station produced national broadcast formats for Luxembourg, Lorraine and Belgium . In 1982 the station was renamed and became RTL Télévision . Five years later, RTL TVI, a Belgian television broadcaster , went live in 1987 . RTL Télévision was now only responsible for Luxembourg and Lorraine. Four years later, in 1991, RTL Hei Elei , today's RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg , started broadcasting for the first time in Luxembourgish. In the same year RTL Télévision changed its name to RTL TV and became the regional broadcaster for Lorraine.
For the 40th anniversary, the station was renamed again in 1995 and has been called RTL9 since then . In 1997 RTL9 was viewed by the RTL Group as no longer profitable. Accordingly, almost all employees were laid off in December 1997 and in March 1998 a share of 65 percent of the station was sold to the AB Groupe. This assessment turned out to be wrong. For a long time after the takeover, RTL9 was the most watched pay-TV program in France .
In the anniversary year 2005 of its 50th anniversary, RTL9 did not receive a license for nationwide unencrypted DVB-T broadcasting in France. Thus RTL9 remained freely receivable only in Luxembourg and Lorraine. Analog broadcasting in Secam on channel 21 was discontinued in June 2010. The regional broadcaster for Lorraine broadcast Air-TV on the same channel in digital form (DVB-T). The makers are the same who had previously produced RTL 9's regional program for Lorraine, Jean-Luc Bertrand and Maryleen Bergman. Production takes place in Metz. Air TV ceased broadcasting in December 2014.
