RTL Group

RTL is Europe's biggest broadcaster, controlling almost 80 television and radio channels across the region. No competitor has anything like the same international footprint, and the group is steadily adding additional territories to its coverage through acquisition. RTL has a particularly strong presence in Germany, where it has overtaken rival Pro SiebenSat1 to become the country's #1 commercial broadcaster. Other key subsidiaries include M6 in France, Five in the UK and Antena 3 of Spain, in which it has a minority stake. In addition the group has a substantial TV production division which controls several of the world's biggest programme franchises, not least the Idols, Got Talent and X Factor talent show brands. RTL is the largest division of German media giant Bertelsmann.
