  1. Statement:

    > Samen met RTL 4, RTL 7 en RTL 8 is RTL 5 vormen de RTL-zenders RTL Nederland, onderdeel van de Luxemburgse RTL Group. Door deze Luxemburgse licentie is RTL Nederland verplicht om een half uur per dag Luxemburgse tv uit te zenden. Dat doet RTL Nederland bij RTL 5 met RTL De Journal, dat iedere ochtend tussen 5.30 en 6.00 uur te zien is. Voorheen heette dit programma Hei elei kuck elei.

    Translation: Together with RTL 4, RTL 7 and RTL 8, RTL 5 forms the RTL channels RTL Nederland, part of the Luxembourg-based RTL Group. This Luxembourgish licence* obliges RTL Nederland to broadcast half an hour of Luxembourg TV a day. RTL Nederland does that at RTL 5 with RTL De Journal, which can be seen every morning between 5.30 and 6.00. Previously, this programme was called Hei elei kuck elei.

    *Correction: Operating under a Luxembourg government issued broadcasting license, rather than Dutch government issued one.
