Belgischer Rundfunk

Belgischer Rundfunk (BRF) ("Belgian Broadcasting") is the public-service broadcasting organisation serving the German-speaking Community of Belgium. Based in Eupen, with additional studio facilities in Sankt Vith and Brussels, BRF produces one television and three radio channels.
History.
German-language broadcasts were first started in Brussels by the "Nationaal Instituut voor Radio Omroep" / "Institut National de Radiodiffusion" (NIR/INR) on 1 October 1945. In 1960, the NIR/INR became "Belgische Radio en Televisie" / "Radio-Télévision Belge" (BRT/RTB) and in 1961 RTB began a German-language radio channel, broadcasting from Liège.
In 1977, the German-language service was separated from RTB – which became "Radio-Télévision Belge de la Communauté française" (RTBF) – and BRT, which became "Vlaamse radio en televisie" (VRT) - and the new company, Belgischer Rundfunk, began broadcasting from Eupen. For some years afterward, it continued to use BRT/RTB's old stylised "ear" logo long after its French and Flemish sisters dropped it.
In October 1999 BRF-TV was created; it broadcasts by cable in the East Cantons. On 15 November 2001, BRF and Deutschlandfunk Cologne began BRF-DLF, a radio station in Brussels for German-speakers in that area.
