RTL Z is a Dutch free-to-cable business and financial news television channel.
It displays economic changes and the stock exchange news in a banner at the bottom of the screen in the daytime.
RTL Z started on 6 June 2001 as a joint venture between Holland Media Groep and Belgian Business Television.
At launch, the new standalone version was available to six million households, but was not available on all basic cable subscriptions, as agreements were only signed with KPN, Ziggo and Vodafone.
