TV Limburg

What TV Limburg does

TV Limburg is a private Belgian regional television broadcaster headquartered in Hasselt that serves the Limburg province under the slogan "Limburg dat zijn wij" ("Limburg, that is us"). Its core product is a linear regional TV channel supplemented by a web-based streaming platform and a mobile webapp that deliver news, sports, entertainment, business programming, podcasts, and travel content. The company also operates TVL Reizen, a consumer travel-package business offering curated trips (including recent additions such as Bali, cruises, and Paris) that monetizes audience loyalty beyond the broadcast ad model.

The business operates a dual revenue model: (1) advertising across linear TV, digital video, and the webapp, with named regional advertisers including JUMBO, Group Bruno, New Look Fashion, Odrada Keukens, Brouwerij Martens, and Pathé; and (2) direct-to-consumer travel-package sales through TVL Reizen. Strategic distribution expansion is underway via the VRT MAX streaming platform, which would extend reach beyond the Limburg provincial audience. Recent product initiatives include the TVL Vertellingen 2026 live-event series, Studio Seattle programming tied to the Belgian Red Devils' 2026 World Cup coverage, and De Toekomstfabriek, a business program covering AI and technology adoption among Limburg-based companies. No public financials, funding rounds, or headcount data are disclosed.
