TV10 Netherlands (first era)

1989

Veronica TV's history dates back to 1989 when it was originally launched as TV10 Netherlands. Unusually, for a commercial station, this channel was short-lived because it does not carry any advertising so the channel was later closed down the same year. With the channel being shut down, it was discontinued in 6 years until 1995 when TV10 Netherlands was relaunched as TV10 Gold.
