Sanoma Entertainment
Sanoma Entertainment offers entertaining experiences on television, radio, online and mobile. Sanoma Entertainment’s business units include Nelonen Media, which focuses on broadcast operations, and Welho, Finland’s largest cable television operator.
Net sales from other operations were behind the comparable period because Welho’s sales of set-top-boxes peaked in the first quarter of 2008 due to the digital switch-over. Welho’s broadband subscriptions continued to increase. In pay TV operations, Welho has moved to reporting the number of customers instead of the number of subscriptions. In line with the market development, Welho’s pay TV customer base remained at the comparable period’s level.
