One In Six Spanish Pay TV Homes Subscribed For The First Time In 2015

“The Spanish pay TV market in general has a very active, cost-conscious base of subscribers, with higher-than-average rates of downgrades and upgrades and a substantial population of cord-nevers,” said Parks Associates research director, Brett Sappington.

The research said that Spain exceeds the US in percentage of cord cutters and broadband households that watch online video. In other surveyed countries – the UK, France, and Germany – the incidence of cord cutting is far lower than in the US, according to Parks.
