data, please go to MAVISE
- Database on television channels and television companies
in the European Union or click here
for Cyprus.
This database provides basic data on all the television
channels accessible in the European Union and the two candidate
countries (Croatia and Turkey). MAVISE contains key information
on ca. 3,000 companies, some 4,000 television channels and
the line-up of more than a hundred distributors.
MAVISE also includes a short description of the national
TV markets and links to the relevant national organisations
and sources.
The MAVISE database is edited and published by the European
Audiovisual Observatory in the framework of a contract with
the DG
Communication of the European Commission.
