RTL offers remedies for Sky Deutschland acquisition, EU regulators say

BRUSSELS, March 30 (Reuters) - European broadcaster RTL AUDK.LU has offered remedies to address competition concerns over its Sky Deutschland acquisition, EU antitrust regulators said on Monday, a move likely to help it gain early approval for the deal.

"We can confirm that the parties have submitted commitments. The provisional deadline for the Commission to take a decision is now 22 April 2026," a European Commission spokesperson said in an email, without providing details of the remedies.

A possible concession to address competition concerns will likely see RTL offering to outsource advertising sales to third parties, people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters last week.
