Freenet TV grows to over 1 million customers

February 28, 2019 09.26 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German TV platform Freenet TV increased its customer base in 2018 compared to the previous year by around 12% to 1.014 million.

The target of one million customers by the end of 2018 was thus slightly exceeded. On September 30, 2018, the DVB-T2 and DTH platform had 901,500 customers.

The figures reflect the number of actual revenue-generating users (RGUs), a figure introduced last year.

Internet TV platform waipu.tv recorded 1.26 million registered users at the end of 2018, including around 252,000 subscribers, thereby reaching the target of over 250,000 subscribers at the end of the year.

For 2019, Freenet expects waipu.tv’s subscriber figure to grow to more than 350,000 and the number of Freenet TV customers to stabilise at over one million.
