Background

PTV Leiden, some times called PTL, standing for Piratentelevisie Leiden was a Dutch pirate television station in Leiden that started in 1979. It originally broadcast on weekends using a method of broadcasting a low-power signal directed towards a mast or tower that rebroadcast high-powered signals of channels such as WDR 1, commonly known as "breaking in" and used by most Dutch pirate channels. The initial broadcasts were brought to an end when on May 9, 1981, Jan Pen, who ran the channel, was arrested by the RCD (Radiocontrole Dienst) and sentenced to one month imprisonment. However, PTV Leiden managed to broadcast again in 1986. The content of the channel ranged from pornography to local events, such as parades, football and Queen's day celebrations. It was one of the most popular pirate channels in Leiden, of which there were many. It advertised local businesses, who in turn sold PTV merchandise, such as pins and stickers.
