LONDON: The top six pay-TV operators in the U.S., as ranked by informitv’s Multiscreen Index<\/em>, maintained their subscriber numbers in the first quarter of 2016, adding in total 33,000 video customers.<\/p>\n

These six operators have a total of 78.31 million video subscribers between them. AT&T U-verse reported the largest loss of video subscribers. AT&T has been promoting the services of its DIRECTV subsidiary, which made the greatest gains but came up short in making up the difference by 54,000. Between the two services, AT&T still has 25.34 million video customers, making it the market leader in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Comcast added 53,000 video subscribers, marking its best first-quarter result in nine years, taking its total to 22.4 million.<\/p>\n

DIRECTV gained 328,000 subs in the U.S., for a total of 20.11 million. It lost 73,000 subscribers in Latin America, led by the loss of more than 100,000 in Brazil.<\/p>\n

DISH Network shed 23,000 subscribers, ending the quarter with 13.87 million, down by 139,000 year on year.<\/p>\n

Time Warner Cable gained 21,000 residential video customers, with a total of 10.84 million. Charter Communications, which is planning to acquire the company, gained 10,000, for a total of 4.33 million.<\/p>\n

Verizon Fios added 36,000, compared to 90,000 in the same quarter a year ago, taking its total to 5.86 million.<\/p>\n

AT&T U-verse lost 382,000 subs, dropping down to 5.23 million. The service has lost 737,000 subscribers in 12\u00a0months as AT&T concentrates on DIRECTV.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering concerns about cord cutting, the leading pay-television services in the United States are managing to hang on to their television customers,\u201d said Dr. William Cooper, the editor of the informitv Multiscreen Index<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough slightly down from their peak a year ago, these six operators are still reporting more television customers between them than they had four years ago,\u201d added informitv analyst Dr. Sue Farrell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
