Telebielingue to return as bilingual channel TB2 after losing licence

Telebielingue lost its licence to rival Canal B and stopped broadcasting at the end of June.

It plans to return on October 12 under the name TB2, with a smaller budget and fewer rules.

At first, it will make a one-hour programme each day, split between German and French.

The change means the channel can choose and explore topics more freely, but it will have 16 staff instead of 50.
