RTBF

Radio - télévision belge de la Communauté française ( RTBF, German Radio and Television of the French Community of Belgium, officially since 2010 rtbf.be ) is the public broadcaster for the francophone population of Belgium.

Until 1960 the station Institut National de Radio Diffusion ( INR) was called, then to 1970 RTB. The broadcaster for the Flemish part of Belgium called Vlaamse Radio -en Televisieomroep (VRT ), the Belgian for the German -speaking Community Radio (BRF ).

Alleged Declaration of Independence

On 13 December 2006, the Belgian transmitter shocked with a fictional special on the alleged declaration of independence of the Flemish part.

Interviews with real politicians who were privy to the part in the fraud, Archival and asked recordings reinforced the realistic impression on the audience. Only after some time the notice was displayed, if it were pure fiction. Nevertheless, viewers wrestled with the tears or shouting at the station hotline. The program was then discussed in the days of controversy in Belgium.
