MIDDLESEX, UNITED KINGDOM — British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC (LSE:BSY) has released unaudited results for the six months ended 31 December 2012.
“In TV, we added 50,000 new customers in the quarter. Of these, 25,000 are subscribers to our new internet TV service NOW TV, which benefited from our first above-the-line marketing campaign in the autumn. We are set to launch sport on NOW TV later this year following beta testing which started in December.
The proportion of Sky households with fully-connected HD set-top boxes continues to grow. Just under half a million boxes (460,000) were activated in the quarter, taking the total number of connected boxes to 1.7 million. We expect to maintain good growth in this area in 2013.”
