Pay-TV services were received in almost 50% of Spanish households as of the end of last year.
According to the regulator CNMC, the main reasons they chose to receive them were that were offered by operators with other telco services (22%), interest in channels and series (16.8%) and the retransmission of sporting events (15.5%).
CNMC notes that spending on bundled telco services fell in 2022. The average price of quadruple packages (fixed and mobile telephony, fixed and mobile broadband) fell by almost €4 euros/compared to the previous year, while quintuple packages (which also included pay-TV) around €3 less per month.
The cost of quadruple packages stood at an average of €42.9 per month, with quintuple packages costing €77 per month.
40% of Spanish households contracted fixed and mobile telephony, fixed and mobile broadband and pay-TV services together.
