History of the chain

September 21st 1969, the journalist Jean Octave lance on Tele Luxembourg its unforgettable Hei Elei Kuck Elei (quotation of the booklet of the Luxembourg operetta Mum Séis ), an emission of three fifteen minutes diffused each Sunday morning in Luxembourg language. But, in a hurry to renew the antenna of RTL TV whose audience falls with the turning of the years 1990, CLT starts a new format targeting the young people in whom Hei Elei Kuck Elei does not have any more its place. An internal conflict bursts then between the old one and the new generation, and in October 1991, Jean Octave share by claquant the door, followed by most of its team.

The Luxembourg government then supports very actively the maintenance of a Luxemburgish program and intervenes with CLT for the creation of a daily program on line of an hour, repeated in loop until midnight on a channel dedicated to the Luxembourg. RTL Hei Elei is thus created on October 21st 1991.

From the data transmission of origin, the chain widens its spectrum to propose other emissions ( Hei Elei Sportclub devoted to the scores, emissions of service,…) always centered on the life of the Grand Duchy. The journalists of the emission of origin are with the orders: Jean Octave for information, Pilo Fonck for the sport or Menn Bodson. Since the autumn 2001, under the control of Alain Berwick, RTL Hei Elei was renamed RTL Tele Lëtzebuerg and increased the duration of its programs at 6 p.m. per day to become a national chain multimedia general practitioner mixing Télévision, Radio and Internet. Success is with go and the chain obtains in 2004 a new variation: Den 2. RTL.
