MAVISE
MAVISE is a free online database on audiovisual services and companies in Europe. It is developed by the European Audiovisual Observatory of the Council of Europe and cover 41 member states, and Morocco.
MAVISE is a useful source to analyse key aspects of the audiovisual industries in Europe, such as the level of media concentration,[1][2] as well as trends in the offer/demand of audiovisual services at regional,[3] national and European level.
It provides easy access to information on: national TV markets (42); television channels (over 12000 pan-European, national and regional channels); on-demand audiovisual services (over 1400); and audiovisual companies (over 9800 broadcasters, packagers, transmitters).
Full update of MAVISE is performed yearly every Autumn. However, major market developments are continuously updated to ensure timely and accurate information.
Sources of information
While different sources of information are used by MAVISE team to make the data collection as comprehensive as possible, some limits are to be mentioned regarding the census of audiovisual services, for instance:
- rules for the registration/notification of on-demand services strongly differ between countries, making it often difficult to identify country of licence/registration;
- market data which are needed to identify relevant on-demand services are often lacking.
