Telefacts is a Belgian current affairs programme that has been broadcast weekly on the Belgian television channel VTM since 1 February 1990. It shows documentaries about a wide variety of issues, most of them being widely known recent events. The programme is made in collaboration with VTM Nieuws and sometimes gives in-depth analysis to certain current events.[1]
Reports purchased from foreign broadcasters are sometimes broadcast as part of Telefacts; between 2010 and 2015 a spin-off programme dedicated to these reports was broadcast, allowing the main programme to focus on domestically produced content.[2]
The name Telefacts is a play on words, referring to the telefax, which was still a widely used means of communication when the programme began in 1990, and the programme's factual subject matter (facts), broadcast on television (tele).[3]
