On 21 September 1969, a three-quarter hour television programme in the Luxembourgish language called "Hei Elei, Kuck Elei" (from the libretto of the Luxembourg operetta "Mum Séis") went out for the first time.
This programme, a review with its own editing team produced by the French "Télé-Luxembourg", was broadcast on Sundays until October 1991, when, at the suggestion of the Government, the format was changed to a one-hour daily live programme repeated at intervals until midnight. The programme is watched on average by approximately 70 per cent of Luxembourgish-speaking households. Special events, such as the accession to the throne of the new sovereign in October 2000 and major sporting events, are broadcast live.
In autumn 2001, RTL extended its programmes for Luxembourg to 18 hours and has also offered special youth entertainment programmes since that time.
Under the terms of its franchise, which was last renewed by the Government in 1994, this private station is committed to neutrality and fulfils the public information functions of a public broadcasting corporation. In return, the Government foregoes its franchise fee. As over a third of the country’s 440,000 inhabitants are foreign nationals, the state provides funding for a French translation of the daily TV news programme, which is broadcast simultaneously on the second stereo channel. There are no licence fees for the public.
A number of regional TV channels broadcast programmes by cable and satellite. Under the current regulations, these channels must be financed exclusively through sponsorship contracts. The "Uelzechtkanal", a regional channel in the south, is produced by students. "Nordliicht TV" and the music and youth format "Tango TV" are all private projects. Other projects include a dedicated channel for live broadcasts from the Chamber of Deputies.
