Programmes
RTL9 is a general channel, although programmes produced by the channel still concentrate on the regional area. They also show programmes from the catelogue of the AB Groupe with films and serials from AB Production and AB Distribution as well as from the RTL Group.
Today, as well as a daily chat show of 360 minutes (every morning), a collection of series (Derrick, Friends, Due South, Baa Baa Black Sheep and Renegade), they also show films and erotic series to try and maintain audiences, a recipe which seems to work. The channel is still more watched at primetime with shows such as Ça va se savoir !. However, the RTL spirit has not left the channel, and RTL9 is still a regional channel. Although the French public in general have moved to cable and satellite in place of regional programming, local information is still available every lunchtime and evening on the terrestrial channel for Lorraine and Luxembourg, run by Jean-Luc Bertrand, who still tries to make the channel a star in the east of France.
