Source-derived summary

RTL 24 started as a mobile TV news channel on 5 June 2008. It was available through KPN DVB-H. Its broadcast as a mobile TV channel stopped when KPN ceased its DVB-H services on 1 June 2011.

After a short break, RTL 24 re-launched as a mobile app for smart phones, tablet computers and other mobile devices in November 2011. On 19 January 2012 the app changed into RTL Nieuws 365 and therefore the brand RTL 24 discontinued.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “RTL 24” is netherlands television channel. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Netherlands, television and channel, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2008, 2011, 2012—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Netherlands, television and channel is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “netherlands television channel” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 28, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q2561881. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2011 and 2012.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
