Chaîne R

Chaîne R is a Roterlanese commercial broadcast television network that is owned by Groupe MV1. The network is headquartered in Trendon. It was founded in 1986 as Telecinq before taking on its current name in 1992.

1986-1991
Chaîne R was launched as Télécinq in February 20, 1986 as part of the Itainian media conglomerate.

1992-1995
In 1992, after declaring bankruptcy, Télécinq's assets were acquired by Groupe MV1 with the intention of serving as a secondary service to the main channel (the same way TVR3 was to TVR2) as the channel was then renamed Chaîne R. A few days after the former service shut down, a transitional service managed by MV1 started its broadcasts and later became the rebranded channel.
