This demonstrates how our streaming investments in content , marketing and technology - and our strategic partnerships - boost our progress towards creating national streaming champions . With new high - end drama series and a broad portfolio of entertainment shows , our global content business , Fremantle , had a strong start to the year . Driven by our streaming and content production business , RTL Group's revenue was up by almost 4 per cent organically in the first quarter - although lockdown measures led to lower TV advertising revenue . We see strong growth of our TV advertising revenue across our footprint for the second quarter of the year and confirm our outlook for the full year 2021 . As stated before , there is a strong case for consolidation in the European broadcasting industry . We are currently reviewing such options for our broadcasting businesses in France , Belgium and the Netherlands , with a view to creating value for our shareholders . There can be no certainty that this may lead to any type of agreement or transaction . " ¹ Adjusted for portfolio changes and at constant exchange rates .
