RTL Group is a leading broadcast, streaming, content, and digital entertainment company with 56 TV channels, eight streaming services, and 36 radio stations. The Group's TV channel groups consistently rank among the top in six European countries. At the same time, the RTL Group owns or has interests in radio stations in France, Germany, Spain, and Luxembourg. RTL Deutschland is the Group's most prominent business unit and the first German multimedia champion, operating in TV, streaming, radio, and digital publishing. RTL Group's streaming services include RTL in Germany and Hungary, Videoland in the Netherlands, and 6play in France.

As a market leader, RTL Group strives to foster alliances and partnerships in the European media industry – for example, by building one-stop advertising companies in Germany and the Netherlands with Ad Alliance and driving international ad sales with RTL Ad Alliance. The company's roots go back to 1924 when Radio Luxembourg was broadcast. Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion (CLR) was founded in 1931. A European pioneer broadcasts a unique program using the same wavelength in several languages.

The RTL Group was formed in the spring of 2000 following the merger of Luxembourg-based CLT-UFA and British content production company Pearson TV, owned by Pearson Plc. Bertelsmann has been a significant shareholder of RTL Group since July 2001.
