In January 1992, RTL2 was created after a fusion of the stationsMaxximum andRadio Métropolys, and afterwards RTL 2 was created, then namedM40. The station was owned by Prisa (48.5% of the capital) and theRTL Group (with 35.75% stake).
In January 1995, M40 changed its name to RTL1 and later that year, after a complaint fromEurope 1,[clarification needed] the station had to change its name again to finally becomeRTL2.
