Recognizing the potential effect that Radio Belgique could have on their control of information in the occupied country, the Germans rapidly created collaborationist radio stations, also aimed at a Belgian audience, using the remaining assets from the INR,[1] the Francophone Radio Bruxelles ("Radio Brussels") and Dutch language Zender Brussel.[2] The Germans brought out radio blockers to disrupt the signal and made listening to Radio Belgique illegal in December 1940.[5]
