The number of pay-TV subscribers in Spain has exceeded 8 million for the first time.

According to data published by the regulator CNMC, it stood at 8.2 million as of the end of 2020, or 13.6% (1 million) more than a year earlier.

Furthermore, 78% of pay-TV subscribers received their service as part of a package.
