In 1983 , RTL Television was launched and obtained the authorization of a radio relay between Luxembourg and Brussels ; in compensation , RTBF receives access to non-commercial advertising in 1984 . Financial contributions and the quote on the screen of commercial sponsors will be permitted in exceptional cases in 1987 to allow the RTBF to organise the Eurovision Song Contest . The decree of the French Community authorizing the dissemination of commercial advertising by commercial channel RTL-TVI in 1988 put an end to the monopoly of broadcasting of the RTBF , but in 1989 another decree of the French Community authorizes the broadcast by RTBF advertisements trade to rebalance the situation . Management and marketing of advertising space is entrusted to TVB , a joint venture of public and private channels of the French Community ( RTBF 1 , Télé 21 and RTL-TVI ) . TVB , divided the advertising revenue between the two channels by 25 % to 75 % for RTBF and RTL . The system was later criticized from all sides and was discontinued in 1996
