About this sound

✦ AI

Short RTL TV ident clip with the German slogan 'Mein RTL, willkommen zuhause'. Creators use it for ironic channel intros, TV parodies and nostalgic edits.

This is the four-second station ident from RTL, the German commercial TV broadcaster, carrying its 'Mein RTL, willkommen zuhause' branding. A warm voiceover delivers the slogan over a short musical flourish, and the whole clip feels like a channel coming back from a commercial break. It is instantly recognisable to German viewers, which is exactly why creators use it: the clip makes any video feel like a television programme, funny, self-important and faintly old-school at the same time, and it lands best on ironic content.

RTL is one of Germany's largest commercial TV broadcasters, and 'Mein RTL, willkommen zuhause' — my RTL, welcome home — is the channel's audience slogan, heard in station idents and programme promos. Short branding clips like this one circulate online because German creators love riffing on the polished world of commercial television. The sound lands like a classic TV ident, in the same family as the Law and Order DUN DUN, and works best when a video needs an instant shot of broadcast authority. Because the slogan is short and warm, it also survives repeated listening without turning annoying.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the clip right before the punchline of a sketch so it frames the joke like a returning TV segment. Keep it at good volume for the voiceover, then duck it under your audio. One ident per video keeps the gag from wearing thin.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Introducing a sketch as a fake TV programme segment.
  • Punctuating an ironic return after a fake ad break.
  • Parodying German television channel intros on TikTok.
  • Ending a meme compilation like a broadcast closing.
