Description: RRTL RTL January 08, 2026
RTL Group S.A. is a pan-European entertainment conglomerate that operates television channels, radio stations and streaming services across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the United States and other international markets.
The company is organized into four main segments: RTL Deutschland, which combines TV, streaming, radio, digital and publishing assets (including Antenne Bayern and Radio Hamburg); Groupe M6, which runs TV and radio channels plus digital services in France; Fremantle, a global content-production, distribution and licensing business; and an “Other” segment that houses RTL Hungary, RTL Luxembourg, Atresmedia, Era and the technical-services arm Broadcasting Center Europe.
Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Luxembourg, RTL Group is a subsidiary of Bertelsmann Capital Holding GmbH, linking it to one of Europe’s largest media-technology conglomerates.
Key recent metrics (2023) show revenue of roughly €7.5 billion and an EBITDA margin near 20 %, reflecting strong cash generation despite a competitive advertising environment. The German advertising market, a core revenue driver, grew about 5 % YoY in 2023, while streaming subscriptions across RTL Deutschland’s platforms rose 12 % year-over-year, underscoring the shift toward digital consumption. Fremantle’s global production footprint provides exposure to the U.S. market, where ad spend is expected to outpace European growth rates through 2025.
