First-Time Adoption Of Pay TV Is Up Among Spanish Broadband Households, Parks Associates Finds

Parks Associates announced new research earlier this month showing that 16% of Spanish Pay TV households subscribed to Pay TV for the first time last year, although Spanish consumers are still more likely than consumers in other Western European markets to have never had Pay TV or to have cancelled Pay TV in favour of online video sources.

"First-time adoption of Pay TV is up among Spanish broadband households, as is the penetration of Pay TV overall," reveals Brett Sappington, Director of Research at Parks Associates.
