Spain adds 75,000 pay TV subscribers in 3Q 2015
Tuesday, March 1st, 2016Spain’s Markets and Competition Commission (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia – CNMC) has published telecommunications and audiovisual statistics for the country for the third quarter of 2015.
In the quarter, total pay TV subscribers grew by 75,000 to 5.43 million, a much lower increase than the 400,000 seen in the same quarter of 2014. This was only partly accounted for by the closure of pay-DTT provider GolTV. The main winner was IPTV which added over 350,000 subscribers in Q3. Satellite continued to lose share. Year-on-year, the market grew by 718,000 subscribers or around 15%.
