BSkyB adding more viewers
Television and broadband operator BSkyB added 74,000 net new TV customers in its third quarter as it fought off competition from BT.
The growth was more than double the rate it recorded in the same quarter last year.
Profits were slightly down, but were held back by continuing high investment in its services.
Chief executive Jeremy Darroch said: "We have had a strong third quarter and continued to grow at an accelerated rate as customers respond to the quality and breadth of our offering."
It added 764,000 paid-for subscription products in the quarter and has added 2.4 million so far this financial year.
In the nine months to the end of March earnings before tax were down 2.4% to £1.22 billion on revenue of £5.66bn, up 6.6%.
BSkyB said its expanded box sets service had been particularly popular with a fourfold increase in viewing of top titles like Game of Thrones.
