TV Channel Revenues in Europe: Table of Contents TV Channel Revenues in Europe: Table of Contents This report covers European revenues for 225 international channels/networks for 11 major groups. Excluding premium channels, this report reveals where each international group is strongest and which are the most influential groups overall. Furthermore, the report forecasts revenues (both from carriage fees and from advertising) for eight European regions for every year from 2011 to 2018. The estimates and forecasts in this report have been prepared using an analysis of a database of hundreds of financial records for individual channels, channel groups and corporate parents. The figures have then been stress tested against peer group data, as well as channel distribution figures in terms of subscribers, homes and platforms. Published in October 2013, this 86-page PDF-delivered report comes in four parts: Methodology Executive summary and forecasts overview analysis Channel group forecasts Country/regional forecasts.

Covering 225 international channels/networks from 11 groups, the TV Channel Revenues in Europe report estimates that Viacom will be followed by Eurosport ($651 million) and Discovery ($620 million). Revenues for Europe’s top pay TV channels by group in 2013 ($ million) AETN, 111 BBC, 170 Viacom, 749 Chello, 254 Discovery, 620 Turner, 396 Sony, 138 Disney, 491 NBC Uni, 330 Fox, 420 Eurosport, 651 Source: Digital TV Research Viacom will remain the largest channel group (growing to $975 million in 2018), again followed by Eurosport ($801 million) and Discovery ($772 million) – (although Discovery and Eurosport may have merged operations by then). Nicholas Moncrieff, report author, said: “The recession has hurt some regions more than others. The UK is buoyant overall, but no growth is expected in Spain & Portugal and Italy until next year. The estimates and forecasts in this report have been prepared using an analysis of a database of hundreds of financial records.” Total revenues for Europe’s top pay TV channels reached $4.21 billion in 2012, and will grow by 31% to $5.52 billion by 2018. Although it provides the bulk of the total, carriage fee revenue growth is slowing as markets mature. Carriage fee revenues will climb by 14.1% from $2.91 billion in 2012 to $3.32 billion in 2018. Advertising revenues will increase by 69% from $1.30 billion in 2012 to $2.20 billion by 2018. The UK and Ireland combined are the largest country group. Perhaps more surprising to some is that Eastern Europe is already the second largest region, and it is expected to gain ground on the UK & Ireland over the next five years.

    December 13, 2012 TF1 & Discovery Communications Continue Exclusive Negotiations The TF1 Board of Directors, meeting on December 12, 20012, gave Nonce Paolini authority to conntinue and finalise the exclusive negotiations with Discovery Communications, the world’s #1 non-fiction media company, as announced on November 13, 2012. These negotiations are aimed at forging a strategic alliance to create value in the numerous complementary activities of the two media companies, in three key areas: Develop the futture activities of Eurosport A relationship between Eurosport (the only pan-European sport channel) and Discovery Communications (whose channels are available to 1.8 billion subscribers in 217 countries), would unlock synergies and complementary capabilities, particularly at the European level, in content (sports programming, entertainment, documentaries, etc) and in development opportunities (geographical expansion, new product launches, digital rollout, etc). To this end, Discovery would take a 20% minority interest in the Eurosport group (Eurosport International and Eurosport France). The acquisition of the 20% interest would involve cash consideration of approximately €170 million ($221.6 million). Discovery also would have the possibility (via an option granted by TF1) of raising its interestt to 51% in two years’ time. If Discovery exercised its option, TF1 would have the abillity to exercise a put option over the remaining 49%, which potentially would increase Discovery’s ownership to 100%. Develop pay TV content in France The alliance also would aim to enhance the output of documentary, magazine and current afffaairs channels in order to offer French distributors a flagship range of theme channels built around the content and brand portfolios of the two groups.
