vtm or Vlaamse Televisie Maatschappij (English: Flemish Television Company) is the main commercial television station in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking north of Belgium.
It went live in 1989 and quickly became the Flemish commercial market leader and the 2nd biggest channel in Flanders. It can be received on cable or by satellite in Flanders.
Vlaamse Media Maatschappij (VMMa), its parent company, also operates vtm kids sister channel vtmKzoom, the TV channels 2BE and JIM, frequently passing on programs, mainly for reruns. The broadcaster also owns three radio stations: Q-music, JOEfm and formerly, the now defunct, Radio BemBem. In 2005 there were talks about VMMa buying the Flemish part of Canal Plus from Telenet but this fell through. In 2006 rumours were spread that the RTL Group would buy 50% of VMMa, but vtm as well as RTL denied those plans.
In 2004, vtm lost its market dominance back to the public broadcaster VRT's flagship channel één. After its big rebrand in 2008 and the latest smaller rebrand in 2012, vtm regained strength with popular shows.
