History

BRF's television activity started in 1993 with the broadcast of a slot on the Verviersian local cable channel Télévesdre[1] with the weekly investigation programme Maskerade, which was later added by the news and current affairs programme MAG.[2]
On 4 October 1999, BRF created KA3 (for KAnal 3), renamed to the current name five years later, on 4 October 2004[3] as BRF-TV, a daily television programme produced and carried on cable in the German Community. The programme was made in co-operation with the Medienzentrum in Eupen and the Germanophone Community.[4]
