RTL Group’s online platforms and on-demand offers across Europe collectively generated more than 1.8 billion video views of professionally produced content in the first nine months of 2012. The figure was up 22% year-on-year, the company announced recently. RTL has plans for more on-demand services. RTL Interactive and HD Plus, a subsidiary of satellite operator SES, announced a new VOD cooperation in September. The catch-up TV services RTL Now, Vox Now and Super RTL Now will be part of the forthcoming ‘HD Plus Replay’ platform, which uses HbbTV to give consumers access to catch-up content on television screens.
