German commercial TV channels RTL Nitro and six will in future be available on DTT in the Rhine Main area.
Local media authority LPR Hessen allocated the space to parent companies RTL and ProSiebenSat.1 at its latest assembly in Kassel.
Following the retreat of teleshopping broadcaster Channel 21 at the end of 2015, the media authority initiated a tender in January 2016 for Channel 21’s DTT capacity and further capacity reaching a total of 6.4 million inhabitants.
With RTL Nitro and six which will commence DTT transmissions soon, a total of 13 public and 13 commercial TV channels can be received terrestrially in the Rhine Main area which includes Frankfurt and surroundings.
