MIDDLESEX, United Kingdom — British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC (LSE:BSY) has released unaudited results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2013.

“We saw good growth in the quarter across all products adding another 117,000 HD customers and 122,000 Sky Go Extra customers. In all, Sky Go Extra, our new paid-for mobile TV service, had a total of 166,000 paying customers at year end, just five months after launch. The transactional element of NOW TV, the sports day pass, got off to a good start as more than 50,000 individual users purchased day passes in the first three months. We continue to roll-out NOW TV across multiple platforms having launched on PS3, and this week concluded an exclusive agreement with LG by which they will make NOW TV available on their Smart TVs.”
