As part of the sale, RTL Group and DPG Media will enter into a strategic partnership, spanning from technology to advertising sales and content.
RTL Group CEO Thomas Rabe described the sale as the “best strategic option for RTL Nederland and all of its stakeholders” after Dutch competition authorities blocked the group’s consolidation strategy earlier in 2023.
The sale is expected to be completed by mid-2024.
RTL Nederland operates the leading family of TV channels in the Netherlands, comprising five free-to-air TV channels, three digital pay-TV channels and an independent news organisation.
