history

RTL TVI emerged from the PAL version of the French-language television channel Télé Luxembourg , today's RTL 9 . Due to the small number of viewers in Luxembourg itself, two variants of the private broadcaster were operated, which broadcast the program in PAL (channel 27 UHF) in the direction of Belgium and in SECAM (channel 21 UHF) in the direction of France. In the mid-1980s, however, the two television programs increasingly separated from each other. The PAL program of the television broadcaster, which has now been renamed RTL Télévision , was now explicitly aimed at its Belgian viewers, while the SECAM program was aimed at viewers in Luxembourg and France. In 1987, with the legalization of private television in Wallonia, the program intended for Belgium finally became independent. The television broadcaster then renamed itself RTL TVI on September 12, 1987, the abbreviation TVI standing for Télévision indépendante . The private broadcaster, however, stuck to its Luxembourg origins and continues to broadcast from the Belgian capital, Brussels, with a Luxembourg license . The program is also broadcast in a digital multiplex from Luxembourg via a high-power transmitter in Dudelange (Kanal 24) and is therefore also good in the western Rhineland-Palatinate (Trier, Eifel, Mosel, Hunsrück) and in Saarland via DVB T receivable.
