History of the mark

The mark RTL was created the October 11th 1966 by Jean Prouvost for marking well the passage of the era of the radio to that of television and the importance taken by these last media in the Luxembourg Company of remote transmission (CLT). These initials were initially used out of radio to name old Radio operator Luxembourg whose a little old-fashioned format of pre-war period had left the place on October 11th, 1966 with a formula more dynamic and family which will characterize “spirit RTL” during the 40 years to come. The initials were then used on Télé Luxembourg which became at the end of the years 1970 RTL Tele Luxembourg. RTL means radio télévison Luxembourg. It was then used for all the new radiophonic or televised variations launched to Europe by the CLT, like a trademark referring to the two media pioneers with success. All these new radio stations or of television use term RTL preceded or followed by a term or a figure.

The various radio stations and of television RTL have quite distinct programs today and a certain number of them are not any more or never were not produced or were diffused starting from the Luxembourg, head office of the CLT, even if the majority of them all were conceived there.

Following the fusion of the CLT-UFA with the Pearson group in 2000, the new unit adopted mark RTL to name RTL Group, thus confirming the strong potential of these initials created 34 years earlier.
