The RTL Group is still interested in setting up shop in Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, according to Philippe Delusinne, of French language station RTL-TVi. Speaking at a press presentation of the upcoming season he said “There will be a time when we will be active on the Flemish market, we just can’t ignore it.”
In the recent past there have been rumours that RTL was interested in acquiring a (controlling) stake in VTM, the number one commercial broadcaster in Flanders. Delusinne confirmed this could be a possibility, another being the launch of its own Flemish channel.
