RTL Group

For other uses, see RTL.

RTL Group is a pan-European media group headquartered in Luxembourg, owned by the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann. It is the biggest commercial television and radio broadcaster in Europe, with 61 television channels and 30 radio stations across 10 countries, and it also owns the television production company Fremantle. RTL Group uses the RTL brand in most of the countries it operates in, except in France (where the TV brand is M6, though radio stations are branded as RTL) and Spain (where the group’s local subsidiary is Atresmedia).

There are three different types of RTL logos: one type is corporate, used in Germany, Hungary and Croatia; another is used in Luxembourg, French-speaking Belgium and France (radio stations only); and a third logo, which is used exclusively by RTL Nederland. However, this would be changed as the new unified look of the RTL brand launched in 2021.
