Following several quarters of gradual decline, Spain’s pay-TV market staged a slight recovery in the last three months of 2013.
Data produced by the regulator CMNC shows that the country ended the year with 3,774,777 pay-TV subscriptions, up from 3,740,138 in Q3 but down from 4,077,101 a year earlier.
The biggest recovery was seen at Telefónica, which saw its subscriber total grow from 611,251 to 670,525 in Q4 2013, and Orange, up from 62,231 to 76,028 in the same period.
On the other hand, Ono’s pay-TV subscriber total fell from 807,429 to 789,895.
The recovery was reflected in pay-TV revenues, which amounted to €422.31 million in Q4, up from €401.35 million three months earlier but lower than the €444.77 million posted a year earlier.
The biggest winner in terms of distribution platforms was IP, with 746,553 homes receiving TV services.
This compared to 673,482 three months earlier but was down from the 786,586 in Q4 2012.
Both DTH and cable continued to gradually lose subscribers, ending 2013 with 1,620,632 and 1,142,015 respectively, while DTT grew slightly to 237,178.
