The European audiovisual sector features a total of 12 703 audiovisual media services and video-sharing platforms (as of Dec. 2023) available in wider Europe (defined as EU27, Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, North Macedonia, the Republic of Moldova, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and Ukraine). Around three quarters of these services are linear services (9 434 TV channels) and one quarter are non-linear services (3 269 VOD services and video-sharing platforms).

Around one in four (23%) of all private TV channels (excluding local TV) are US-owned and the same applies to one in ten (8%) of all on-demand services and video-sharing platforms in Europe. For multi-country VOD services, several catalogues are counted as one service. US TV channel portfolios are significantly larger than European ones, with 71% of channels in the top 10 TV groups owned by five US companies.

US players all operate fully on the pan-European level, serving numerous European markets. AT&T's Warner Bros. Discovery brands are virtually omnipresent with 46 European markets covered.

11 TV and VOD groups are present in at least 30 different European markets - 9 of them are US-based.
