- Database on television channels and television companies in the
European Union or click here
for Ireland.
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.
