MAVISE is a database developed by the European Audiovisual Observatory for the European Commission DG COMM.

MAVISE provides you with detailed profiles of:

* 29 national TV markets
* 6530 television channels
* 4512 companies (broadcasters, packagers, transmitters)

Aims of MAVISE
The main aim of MAVISE is to provide better knowledge of the audiovisual market and more transparency. These goals are essential if the market is to operate properly and to ensure the laws governing it are relevant.

MAVISE is the biggest data collection operation ever carried out
concerning the European television sector. The only one of its kind, the database will enable the European Audiovisual Observatory to provide the TV industry, institutional decision-makers, and the general public with all the information they need about developments affecting the European market for television even more regularly and efficiently than before. Companies in the audiovisual sector also stand to gain considerably from this project.
