officially launched under the name la quatre and radically changed from the ideas underlying ab4 at its creation so that it became a channel showing cult series from the 60s 70s and 80s and also classic films . the change of name allowed ab groupe to re use programmes originally shown in 2005 on nt1 via digital television in france on the new la quatre . it also allowed the channel to place itself directly after the three main channels of the rtbf as the fourth francophone belgian channel in place of rtl tvi which returned to luxembourg in 2005 . failing to find an audience and very
