RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg is the main television channel in Luxembourg, broadcasting in Luxembourgish.

The small television market in Luxembourg led to a unique system in Europe: Luxembourg remains the only country in the world to run television stations in both the PAL and SECAM formats. Originally, both channels carried the same signal- Tele Luxembourg. Later, the signals were split in the two independent stations RTL-TVI (PAL, system G, on channel 27, the "i" stand for independent), targeting a Belgian audience and RTL Télévision (SECAM, system L, on channel 21), targeting France. Both stations initially continued to carry a lot of the same programming, with regards to foreign series and movies, but produced news and game shows for their target audience.

As restrictions on operating commercial television stations in Europe were relaxed in the mid-80s, RTL-TVI moved entirely to Brussels, while the popularity of RTL Télévision was somewhat diminished by the success of M6. RTL Télévision was renamed RTL 9 and, even though its original terrestrial frequency in Luxembourg remains, it is now primarily a cable station for France.

In 1984, German language RTL Plus (now RTL Television) was added on channel 7.

All these stations carried a program in Luxembourgish, called Hei Elei, Kuck Elei. The main purpose was to show these stations were essentially broadcasters from Luxembourg and not aiming to be commercial stations in Belgium, France and Germany. When the stations were licensed in their intended broadcasting regions, this program was dropped.

RTL Tele Letzebuerg carries programming from RTL Shop and Super RTL in German, and magazine and news in Luxembourgish.

The station's only competitor is Tango TV, operated by Tele2. All other TV stations in Luxembourg only broadcast on a local level (Nordliicht TV in the north or Uelzecht Kanal in the south of the country) or only during certain hours a day (DOK)

Viewers in Luxembourg can also tune into RTL 4, RTL 5 and RTL 7, which are intended for the Dutch market. Since all these stations have their broadcast licences in Luxembourg, they are available as terrestrial channels. Like television channels in the Netherlands, they show all foreign programming in the original language with subtitles, rather than dubbed.
