Consumer Business Unit (CBU) TV revenue continued to do well, driven by the continued subscriber growth, with both the Proximus and Scarlet brands increasing their customer base.

The recurring TV ARPU grew 1.3% year-on-year to EUR 20.1 driven by the increased uptake of TV options, slightly offset by the TV Replay option which has been offered for free in Packs since July 2015.
In 2015, Proximus reinvented TV thanks to the launch of the new user-friendly Proximus TV interface and app, improving consumer’s experience to watch TV on any screen, anywhere, anytime. Proximus also further enriched its entertainment offer with easy access to Netflix, an expanded sports offering and a new national agreement for Wanagogo, Studio 100’s digital offering for children.
