Cable TV grows in Romania

December 13, 2021 08.56 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

The number of cable homes is steadily increasing in Romania and stood at 6.03 million at the end of the second quarter.

This, according to the regulator ANCOM, was up from 5.87 million (+2.7%) at the end of last year.

However, the number of DTH and IPTV homes fell by 9.2% and 3.3% over the same period, to 1.63 million and 120,000 respectively.

As a result, the total number of pay-TV homes stood at 7.79 million at the end of June, 0.1% less than the 7.8 million posted at the end of 2020.

Cable TV penetration per 100 households stood at 80.6% at the end of Q2, up from 78.5% at the end of 2020, while the figures for DTH and IPTV were 21.8% (24.1% in Q4 2020) and 1.7% (unchanged) respectively.

In terms of pay-TV subscriber market share, RCS&RDS claimed top spot in Q2 with 63.3%, up from 60.4% in Q4 2020.

It was followed by Telekom with 13.7% (15%), Vodafone 11.3% (11.5%) and others 11.7% (13.1%).
