2024 started strong for RTL Group, with continued growth in streaming, a double-digit increase in TV advertising and higher audience shares in Germany. 💻 By the end of the first quarter in 2024, RTL Group’s streaming services registered 6 million paying subscribers – a 24.2 per cent increase year on year. While usage of RTL in Germany continued to grow strongly, GROUPE M6 in France recently presented the investment plan for its streaming service M6 . The platform will run on the technology provided by the RTL Group subsidiary Bedrock Streaming and is set to launch next week. 📣 We strengthened our positions in Germany, France and Hungary. With a higher combined audience share, RTL Deutschland extended the lead over ProSiebenSat1 to 8 percentage points. Groupe M6 strengthened its sports offering by acquiring the exclusive free-to-air TV rights for the majority of matches of the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and 2030. In Hungary, flagship channel RTL was the most-watched channel during the first three months of the year thanks to locally produced series and news content. 🎬 Our content powerhouse Fremantle has acquired a majority stake in the Asian production company Beach House Pictures and fully acquired Asacha Media Group, a France-based European production group.

INSIGHT of the week: bundling now done directly by OTT content providers We had seen distributors like Verizon (US), Free (France) bundle OTT services together at aggressive rate. Today Disney and WBD have decided to bundle their services together. We already had Disney bundling Disney with Hulu and ESPN , it now moves the needle with MAX. Question will be: what is the added value of pay TV distribution if the bundle can be done without them? Maria Rua Aguete Magnus Svensson Andreas Waltenspiel Colin Dixon https://lnkd.in/g_VjNi-6
