History [edit]

INR [edit]

The Institut National de Radiodiffusion (IRN) began experimental television in Belgium on 2 June 1953, with the crowning of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. On 31 October 1953 at 20:30, Andrée Rolin officially opened the channel, with the channel broadcasting 2 hours a day, 6 days a week.

RTB [edit]

In 1960, Belgian Radio-television (RTB) replaced IRN.

In 1962, RTB introduced cable television in Liège and Namur, and in 1975 rolled out across the country.

In 1973, RTB began broadcasting in colour.

In 1976, a second channel was created, La Bis, production was decentralised, and regional centres were created in Liège and Charleroi.

RTBF1 [edit]

In 1977, RTB became Radio-Télévision belge de la Communauté française RTBF, with the channel renamed RTBF1.

RTBF La Une [edit]

In 1997, Parlement de la Communauté française made RTBF an autonomous public company, with RTBF1 being renamed RTBF La Une along with Arte 21 and Sports 21 into RTBF La Deux and Eurosport 21. In 2005, RTBF La Une was renamed again to just La Une. In 2011, La Une plans to cease broadcasting in analogue transmitting and La Une will start to broadcast in digital and especially, La Deux and La Trois (but only for Tournai.)
