In 2017, NENT Group delivered full year net sales of SEK 13,684 million (SEK 12,876 million in 2016) and EBITDA before Group central costs of SEK 1,771 million (SEK 1,557 million in 2016).

NENT Group operates the following platforms and brands: the Pay TV Viasat channels and satellite platform; and Viaplay streaming service (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden); the Free TV channels: TV3, TV3+, TV3 Puls, TV3 Max, TV3 Sport (Denmark); TV3, Viasat4, TV6 (Norway); TV3, TV6, TV8, TV10 (Sweden); and Viafree streaming service (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden).
