RTL Telekids

RTL Telekids is a Dutch pay television kids channel owned by RTL Nederland.

Like the rest of the Dutch RTL network, RTL Telekids is officially a Luxembourgian channel that did not have to adhere to Dutch broadcasting laws.

History
On December 31, 2020, RTL Telekids was closed as a block.

Youth block
On 19 August 2010 RTL announced that the name RTL Telekids would be used for a new youth block on RTL 8. A big difference with the former programme Telekids is that the broadcast is no longer done by a presenter from the studio.

Originally RTL Telekids would start on 4 October 2010. However, on 1 October 2010, there was a car collision on the motorway A59 where a woman and three children were killed in a car accident on their way to the Efteling, where the filming would take place for the program, De Schatkamer, which is part of RTL Telekids. Out of respect for the victims' families the launch of RTL Telekids had been postponed for two weeks until 18 October 2010.
