LUOwnership & classification
Founded: 1931
Ownership
RTL Luxembourg (radio, TV and rtl.lu, branded RTL Lëtzebuerg) traces back to the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion founded in 1931 (renamed CLT in 1954). It is operated by CLT-UFA, a subsidiary of RTL Group, which is in turn roughly 75%-controlled by the German private conglomerate Bertelsmann (Gütersloh); the rest is free float. Although it functions as Luxembourg's de facto national broadcaster under a long-standing broadcasting concession from the Luxembourg state, it is a commercial company, not a state or public broadcaster.
Funding
Funded mainly by advertising and commercial broadcasting revenue within RTL Group; the Luxembourg state grants the concession and provides some compensation for the public-interest Luxembourgish-language service, but ownership and financing are private.
Affiliation & stance
Editorially mainstream and generally non-partisan (centre). Because the broadcaster is privately owned and controlled by RTL Group/Bertelsmann rather than by the state or a party - despite its national public-service concession - it is classified INDEPENDENT.
