History

TeleBielingue began broadcasts on 15 March 1999, over a year and half after receiving the broadcast licence from the Swiss OFCOM.

The channel was created as a partnership among some of the most important media groups in the region: Radio Canal 3, Bureau Cortesi and the publisher of the two most important newspapers in the region, both in French and German (Le Journal du Jura and Bieler Tagblatt respectively): W. Gassmann SA.

Today, Radio Canal 3 is no longer a shareholder.
