The four commercial TV channels SBS6, Net5, Veronica and SBS9 have a combined reach of more than 90 percent of all Dutch people (13 and older).

There are also the VOD platform KIJK and music service JUKE, and Talpa Network contains the multi-channel network Social1nfluencers, which boasts 160 content creators that together have millions of young followers on YouTube. The acquired Emesa has more than 100 million visits per year and 5 million subscribers in the Netherlands with the VakantieVeilingen, ActievandeDag and TicketScout sites.
