Flemish commercial TV station VTM is celebrating its 20th anniversary year in style, by going from strength to strength in the ratings.

There’s another one of those coming along shortly once the present run is done. There’s also a new series of Mijn Restaurant which is pulling in more than 800,000 viewers for its twice-weekly episodes.
