TMF Awards


The TMF Awards were an annual television awards show broadcast live on TMF.
The first Dutch TMF Awards were held in 1995, as a brand extension to the recently launched local Dutch music channel TMF. The show was very small and held in the company cafeteria. However throughout the years the event gradually moved to bigger venues, and for some time now, it is now being held in Rotterdam Ahoy, a venue which can seat 10,000 people. In 2006, the show was held in the 'Heineken Music Hall' in Amsterdam.
Since 1998 a second TMF Awards show was launched. It started out in a local Antwerp Disco called 'Zillion', and gradually moved to Flanders Expo in Gent. The past couple of years leading up to 2007, the Belgian edition has surpassed the Dutch edition after it moved to the Sportpaleis Merksem in Antwerp. In 2007, the TMF awards moved to the Ethias Arena in Hasselt
Both the Dutch & Belgian TMF Awards were broadcast live in Belgium and the Netherlands. About a week later, they were shown on TMF UK. The Dutch show usually took place in April; the Belgian show in October. In 2006 both shows were held in October.
