RTL Nieuws

RTL Nieuws is a Dutch television news service produced by RTL Nederland. The national and international news service produces 17 bulletins each weekday and six weekend bulletins for RTL 4 and RTL Z, reaching a total audience of about 1.5 million people. With the evening broadcast sometimes reaching over 2 million viewers.

RTL Nieuws' main competitor is NOS Journaal, broadcast by the Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (Dutch Broadcasting Foundation) for public service television and radio. RTL co-operates primarily with the Flemish commercial television channel VTM and RTL Germany for international news coverage.

Bulletins

On weekdays, at 6:30am and on the hour and half hour between 7am & 9am, RTL Onbijtnieuws (RTL Breakfast News) bulletins are broadcast on RTL 4. An hourly daytime service of 15-minute bulletins airs on RTLZ between 8am and 5:30pm, featuring business news round-ups and 'normal' news.

Seven days a week, three evening bulletins air on RTL 4 in the form of a short 6pm bulletin, a main evening 20-minute programme at 7:30pm and a 10-minute late night bulletin at varying times. The Sunday edition of the 7:30pm news also features a short review of the past week's events.

In addition, RTL Nieuws produces an hourly daytime service called RTL Z combining news bulletins and business & financial updates on weekdays. A topical magazine programme, Editie NL, is also broadcast each weekday evening on RTL 4.
