Play Nostalgie (until 2023 Nostalgie Vlaanderen) is a private Belgian radio station broadcasting in Flanders and Brussels but can also be heard in some parts of Wallonia, and is dedicated to mainly music of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Play Nostalgie was created on 20 March 2008 as a fusion of five radiostations focused on the Flemish provinces of Belgium, and is owned by Vlaanderen Eén, a joint venture of Mediahuis, Play Media and the NRJ Group.[citation needed]
Since 8 March 2010, Nostalgie can also be heard in the province of Limburg after the acquisition of the frequencies of EXQI FM.[citation needed]
On 23 February 2023, it was announced that Telenet will become co-owner of Nostalgie. The company gained a 20% part of the station after approval through Play Media.[1]Mediahuis will retain 55% ownership, while the NRJ Group (through Nostalgie Holdco, formerly Nostalgie SAS),[2] will retain 25%. On July 15, 2023, Play Media officially became co-owner after approval.
