After a difficult year in 2020, due to the Covid pandemic, the situation normalized in 2021, and the free-to-air channels benefited from a dynamic advertising market, enabling them to return to, or even exceed, the level of sales and profits achieved in 2019.
As a result, cumulative sales for free-to-air channels came to €5,708.1m in 2021, up 7% on 2020.
The 18 free-to-air private channels surveyed reported a 16% increase in sales over 2021 (to €2,854.2m), with total operating income in 2021 twice that of 2020 (to €212.6m).
