About

RTL Group operates across television, radio, streaming and content production, with headquarters in Luxembourg City. The company maintains 52 television channels, 36 radio stations and 6 streaming services across Germany, France, Hungary and Luxembourg. Its portfolio includes flagship operations RTL Deutschland and Groupe M6, alongside Fremantle, a production house that creates thousands of hours of programming annually.

Founded in 1931 as Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion, RTL Group took its current form following mergers with CLT-UFA and the combination with Pearson TV in 2000. The company is listed on the Luxembourg and Frankfurt stock exchanges and is majority-owned by Bertelsmann.

RTL Group's technical infrastructure spans broadcast television and radio, streaming platforms, content production systems and digital platforms. The company operates a cross-media content strategy connecting its linear and non-linear services across multiple European markets.
