RTL Z is a Dutch
free-to-cablebusiness and
financial news
television channel. It displays economic changes and the
stock exchange news in a banner at the bottom of the screen in the daytime. In the evenings the programming consists of documentaries.
RTL Z started on 6 June 2001 as a joint venture between
Holland Media Groep and Belgian Business Television. Belgian Business Television broadcasts Kanaal Z (Canal Z) in
Belgium. In 2002, Holland Media Groep took over the programme in its entirety. It was initially broadcast as a
programming block on
RTL 5 during daytime, and later on
RTL 7 from 12 August 2005 until 6 September 2015.[1] It became a 24-hour channel on September 7, 2015, so that the block on RTL 7 ended.[2]
