History

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 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.
It became a 24-hour channel on September 7, 2015, so that the block on RTL 7 ended. At launch, the new standalone version was available to six million households, but was not available on all basic cable subscriptions, as agreements were only signed with KPN, Ziggo and Vodafone.
On 7 January 2019, RTL Z introduced a new daytime schedule re-emphasizing news and weather.
