## Tuning into a French Icon: RTL 103.9
RTL, a name synonymous with French radio, broadcasts a vibrant mix of news, talk, and music across the nation. From its early days as Radio Luxembourg to its current status as a leading French broadcaster, RTL has a rich history interwoven with the evolution of radio itself.
Originally founded in 1933 as Radio Luxembourg, the station carved a unique path. Broadcasting from outside French borders until 1981, it offered listeners an alternative to the then solely public French radio landscape. This unique position allowed it to develop a loyal following, eager for diverse programming. The change to RTL in 1966 solidified its identity as a distinct force in the broadcasting world.
