History
Radio Contact is created in 1980 by Francis Lemaire, Pierre Houtmans, Freddy Neyts (husband of Annemie Neyts-Uyttebroeck) and Catherine Servaes, after replacing the local radio station of Brussels Radio Kosmos.
The first broadcasts of Radio Contact were in Dutch and French, in 1981 the French-speaking Contact stayed on the frequency 101.3 MHz, and the Dutch-speaking Contact got the 104.0 MHz frequency in the Brussels area.
In November 1995, the German-speaking version, Radio Contact (Eupen) was created for the German Community of Belgium.
Since 2006, Radio Contact is part of Radio H, a holding held by RTL Group, Lemaire Electronics and the Groupe Rossel. RTL bought all the shares of Radio H in December 2020.[1][2]
