Gradually from 1995, RTL 5 started decreasing its entertainment profile and aimed to become a news channel, due to the acquisition of Veronica and concerns over RTL's near-monopoly on commercial television with three channels alone.

1996–1997[]

The logo was revised in 1996 when the EC blocked the request to convert RTL 5 into a news channel. During this season, 5 in het land, a counterpart to SBS6's Hart van Nederland, appeared. During this period, the national anthem of Luxembourg was played at closedown.

Right at the beginning of 1997, on January 1, the new RTL 5 Nieuws & Weer format launched, but there were carryovers from previous phases of the channel. Implementation was gradual, as in the first two months, the older RTL 5 logo appeared in some graphics. SBS criticized RTL 5's lack of commitment in delivering a comprehensive news format and took to the European Commission; RTL 5 was still showing American movies after the main 8pm news in this period.
