Spain Leads European Cord Cutting Rates - Study

Around 16 percent of Spanish pay-TV households subscribed to pay TV for the first time last year, according to a report entitled "Connected Consumer in Europe" from Parks Associates.

In the other surveyed countries – the UK, France and Germany – the incidence of cord cutting is far lower than in the US, said the report.
