RTL 5 is the 2nd channel of the RTL Group in the Netherlands. The channel mainly broadcasts American films and hit series such as 24, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Heroes and Prison Break but also local productions including Jensen! and Holland's Next Topmodel, a Dutch version of America's Next Topmodel. RTL 5 recently started airing the Dutch version of Project Catwalk. RTL 5 first broadcast via the Astra 1C satellite on October 2, 1993.

The programs which are broadcast on RTL 5, were before 2005, broadcast on the Dutch television station Yorin. Officially RTL 5 - along with RTL 4, RTL 7 and RTL 8 - is headquartered in Luxembourg, broadcasting under a Luxembourgish TV license. This allows them to avoid more severe control by the Dutch media authorities as Luxembourg's television watchdog is less strict.
