Super RTL is a Cologne-based German television network operated by RTL Disney Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG. It was the second German television channel aimed mostly at children (the first was Nickelodeon). It was launched in 1995 as a joint venture between RTL Group predecessor company CLT-UFA and Disney.
During the daytime and early evening until 8:15 pm, there are only shows for children on Super RTL, including many American and particularly Disney series. Super RTL used to air a large number of Nickelodeon shows as well during the time that rights owner Viacom did not operate their own children's channel in Germany (1998-2005), but this supply has dried up with the re-introduction of "Nick" to Germany in 2005.
In prime time, Super RTL mostly repurposes older RTL series or airs family-branded, inexpensive entertainment shows.
