Luxembourg-based RTL Group saw a 12% jump in revenue to $5 billion (€5 billion) for the first nine months of 2022, according to its third-quarter statement which was released on Friday.
UK-based international film and TV production and distribution company Fremantle had played a significant role in the jump in revenue, said RTL Group CEO Thomas Rabe
