The European Audiovisual Observatory has published a new report on TV content broadcast by European television channels.
This new study reveals that over 138,000 different films, TV programmes and series (all origins) were broadcast in the EU in 2023 (works considered : films and made-for-TV works excluding sports, news, games, talk shows, reality shows, music, education, religion. For TV series: 1 season=1 work). This figure includes over 88,000 different European works. On average, over 12,000 different works (including almost 6,500 European works) were broadcast in a given country.
European works accounted for 51% of all works broadcast in the EU in 2023, surpassing US works (40%). As far as European works are concerned, EU27 works accounted for 75% and other European works (mainly originating from the United Kingdom) made up 25%.
These are the findings of the Council of Europe’s European Audiovisual Observatory in a new report entitled: “Works on television in Europe 2023 data”. This report provides an analysis of films and TV content broadcast in 2023 by a sample of 1 663 European TV channels from 25 European Union countries, i.e. 436,000 single broadcasts.
