The report included those companies with more than a billion euros in yearly revenue, as well as the largest companies operating in an individual European market.

According to the findings, Spain�??s Prisa group led the revenue growth with a 64.8 percent increase in earnings. The French network M6 followed with an increase of 21.4 percent, while German media conglomerate RTL experienced revenue growth of 19.1 percent.

Prisa�??s impressive growth came in the wake of the group�??s consolidation of Sogecable. Since last February, Prisa has a 44 percent interest in Sogecable.

Only a few European companies showed a decrease in revenues: Greece�??s Lambrakis saw revenues fall by 9.59 percent; Impresa of Portugal suffered a decrease of 5.93 percent; and revenues at Poland�??s Agora fell by 4.38 percent.

Of the 31 European media groups that released half-year results, 24 reported profits for the semester, indicating an average increase of 2.15 percent.
