This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Television in Luxembourg rather than just read about it. In short: On 23 January 1955 the privately owned Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT) launched Luxembourg's first television channel, the French-language Télé Luxembourg. CLT had on 1 July 1954 changed its name from the earlier Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion (CLR), founded in 1931.

Key takeaways

Television in Luxembourg belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Television in Luxembourg to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.

Reference excerpt

On 23 January 1955 the privately owned Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT) launched Luxembourg's first television channel, the French-language Télé Luxembourg. CLT had on 1 July 1954 changed its name from the earlier Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion (CLR), founded in 1931. In 1997, CLT merged with the Bertelsmann subsidiary UFA Film- und Fernseh GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany, to create CLT-UFA. In 2000, CLT-UFA merged with Pearson Television and became part of the RTL Group, with its headquarters at Kirchberg, Luxembourg.

History Télé Luxembourg was inaugurated by Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg on her 59th birthday together with her husband Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma. The transmitter used was that at Dudelange, adapted for television broadcasting. In 1980 the station added the prefix RTL to its name to become RTL Télé Luxembourg. It continued with this name until 1982 when it became RTL Télévision. The station was receivable in Belgium until 11 September 1987 when the transmitting frequency used was given up to RTL-TVI and continued for Luxembourg and French viewers until March 1991 when it then became RTL TV which had one variant in Lorraine known as RTL Lorraine, which lasted only until September 1991. Because of internal conflicts between the older and younger generations, who could not agree on the re-organisation of the station, RTL TV passed on its public service in Luxembourg on 21 October 1991 to RTL Hei Elei, it kept this name until the autumn of 2001 when it was renamed RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg, and it was joined by a second national station in 2004, Den 2. RTL which is now RTL Zwee.

Programming in Luxembourgish Programming in the Luxembourgish language was inaugurated on 21 September 1969 with the launch of the weekly 45-minute "Hei Elei, Kuck Elei" (roughly translatable as: "Hey there, look at this"), which was broadcast every Sunday until 1991.

Technologies

Cable 95% of households are connected to a cable provider. The major cable companies in Luxembourg are:

Eltrona (in French) Tel: 49 94 66 888 SFR Luxembourg (in French) PostTV Luxembourg Orange Luxembourg (100% owned by Orange Belgium) Tango (Owned by Belgian Telecom company Proximus Group)

Satellite The Société Européenne des Satellites (SES) was formed on the initiative and with the support of the Luxembourg government in 1985. The company is based in the historic Betzdorf Castle, which it acquired in 1986. In 1988 SES became the first European satellite provider when it launched the Astra 1A satellite. RTLplus, a station which had started in Luxembourg but moved its headquarters to Cologne in January 1988, was present for the launch on 8 December 1989.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Television in Luxembourg

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Television in Luxembourg claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Television in Luxembourg before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Television in Luxembourg ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Television in Luxembourg

In research: Television in Luxembourg appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Television in Luxembourg in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Television in Luxembourg is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Television by country, Television in Luxembourg, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Television in Luxembourg outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
