RTL GroupRTL Group is Europe's largest TV, radio and production company. It has 26 television and 24 radio stations in 9 countries. This Luxembourg-based media group operates TV channels and radio stations in Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Spain, Hungary and Croatia. It is one of the world's leading producers of television content such as game shows and soaps, including Pop Idol, Good Times, Bad Times, The Price Is Right, Family Feud and The Bill. ''RTL'' originally stood for ''Radio Télévision Luxembourg'' (in French language) or ''Radio Télé Luxemburg'' (in German language). The RTL Group started in 1931 as ''CLR'' or ''Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion'' which operated Radio Luxembourg. In 1954 it renamed itself into ''CLT'' or ''Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion'' and started television broadcasts. In 1997 it merged with Hamburg-based ''UFA Film- und Fernseh-GmbH'' (not to be confused with East German UFA) to create ''CLT-UFA''. In 2000 it merged with Pearson TV and became RTL Group. It is currently majority-owned by Bertelsmann AG. Among the reasons of RTL Group's success, apart for merits related to the content itself, one can cite the fact that Luxembourg allowed privately owned radio and TV stations long before other European countries did. ==Television stations== * Belgium :RTL TVI :Club RTL :Plug TV * Croatia :RTL Televizija * France :Métropole 6 :RTL 9 * Germany :RTL Television :RTL II :Vox (TV) :Super RTL :RTL Shop :n-tv * Hungary :RTL Klub * Luxembourg :RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg :Den 2.
