BROADCAST
- Continued decline in DTH subscriber base
The number of DTH subscribers decreased by 6,000, and the number of cable TV internet access subscriptions increased by 11,000 during the quarter.
In Canal Digital Group, revenues increased mainly as a result of higher sale of additional services for cable and increased prices for DTH. This was partly offset by reduced DTH subscriber volumes, lower sales to small antenna TV networks and currency effects. EBITDA increased due to higher revenues and reduced sales and marketing expenses. In the fi rst quarter of 2009, EBITDA was negatively affected by a NOK 27 million provision related to replacement of cable TV decoders in Canal Digital Norway.
Revenues in Transmission & Encryption decreased slightly due to lower sale of conditional access services and currency effects, partly offset by increased revenues from satellite transmission and from terrestrial transmission in Norkring België which was consolidated from 1 December 2009.
