general population. Television continues to be the most effective advertising
medium and forms a solid basis for marketing. We are pleased to continue our
partnership with RTL in the coming years."

it has turned out to be a true success story for all stakeholders. We see the

of our programmes for their marketing communications. We are convinced that
