RTL2 is a private French radio station, based in Paris, created in 1992 and owned by the RTL Group. The station plays rock and pop music from the 1980s onwards.

History[edit]

In January 1992, RTL2 was created after a fusion of the stations Maxximum and Radio Métropolys, and afterwards RTL 2 was created, then named M40. The station was owned by Prisa (48.5% of the capital) and the RTL Group (with 35.75% stake).

In January 1995, M40 changed its name to RTL1 and later that year, after a complaint from Europe 1,[clarification needed] the station had to change its name again to finally become RTL2.
