Russia’s Tricolor has posted its 6 millionth customer and remains the fastest growing DTH platform in the world.
According to the company, it acquired 1.65 million more additional subscribers in 2009 and reached the 6 million figure during the New Year holidays, the latter figure representing 13% of the Russian population.
Significantly, some 71% of the 6 million – 4,261,350 – receive Tricolor’s pay-TV package Optimum. This, the company points out, is a record for the Russian pay-TV market.
Separately, Tricolor has announced the addition of two more channels – music-based Muz TV and the sports 7 TV – to its Optimum package on a test basis from today (January 19).
