history

In 1961 Hannsheinz Porst started the radio and television magazine "rtw" (radio television weekly supplement). Similar publications from the United States served as a model. Porst won over influential publishers for his idea of delivering the magazine along with daily newspapers to readers free of charge. In the same year, the publishing houses of the "rtw" founded the publishers' interest group, or VIG for short. The "rtw" achieved a high reach from the start, the first edition was already 100,000 copies. In 1965 the "rtw" was renamed "rtv" in order to emphasize the relationship to the two media radio and television (television) more clearly. Due to the continued success, Porst founded the Deutsche Supplement Verlag in 1968, which from then on took over the marketing of the magazine. In 1981 the Deutsche Supplement Verlag became part of the Bertelsmann group.

After German reunification , “rtv” appeared for the first time in the new federal states in 1990. In 1992, the German Supplement Verlag reached more than ten million readers in West and East together for the first time. From the mid-1990s, “rtv” and comparable magazines had to contend with stagnating interest. To counteract this trend, Deutsche Supplement Verlag invested in a more modern look for the magazine. In addition, the “rtv” website went online in 1996 at www.rtv.de.

The company's range of services was also expanded: for example, Deutsche Supplement Verlag took over the production of program pages for newspapers. In 2000 the subsidiary TV Information Services was founded, which specializes in such offers . Her customers included the Milchstrasse publishing group (“ TV Spielfilm ”) and Spiegel Online . In 2009, Deutsche Supplement Verlag merged with TV Information Services to form the rtv media group. At that time, the reach of “rtv” was 13 million readers. The magazine came with 200 newspapers.

In the past few years, the rtv media group has expanded its product portfolio, for example with the “Land & People” supplement and the “Land & People Edition” kiosk magazine. In addition, the company significantly expanded its online offerings, not least through the takeover of "tvtv.de" in 2013. Until 2015, the rtv media group belonged to Arvato , Bertelsmann's service division. On January 1, 2016, the company became part of the newly established Bertelsmann Printing Group .

In 2017, “Land & People” became the company's second publication with a circulation of more than one million copies. In the same year, the logo and layout of "rtv" were modernized as part of a relaunch . In addition, in November 2017 the company won an important new customer with the magazine “ Stern ”, who had its program supplement, the Stern TV magazine, produced and marketed by the rtv media group.
