Freesat bosses hail “strong quarter” for growth

May 11, 2015 - Staff@seenituk

Freesat_frontFreesat gained 12,000 new users in the first quarter of the year, taking its total user base to 1.9 million households.

The BBC and ITV owned satellite service provides a free-to-air alternative to Sky and Virgin Media for homes which are outside Freeview’s coverage area.

Bosses say their Freetime internet-connected set top boxes now account for half of all STB sales including upgrades and new connections.

“I’m thrilled to report another strong quarter for Freesat that clearly demonstrates the continuing growth and strength of the UK’s free-to-air proposition,” said Alistair Thom, Freesat’s managing director.
