Brazil pay TV subscribers continue downward trend
Friday, November 13th, 2015According to Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel), the country’s pay TV subscriber base ended September 2015 at 19.48 million, with 164 thousand subscribers being lost in the quarter to leave the total only 43 thousand up on one year before.
In the quarter, satellite lost 215 thousand subscribers, to finish with 432 thousand fewer than at the end of September 2014. This was compensated by growth in cable (up 402,000) and FTTH which has almost doubled over the year to 153 thousand subscribers.
