According to the information facilitated by the persons in charge of Premiere, the platform had 3.409.900 subscribers to date of December 31, 2006. This fact supposes an increase of 1,1 % with regard to the end of the third trimester of 2006. On September 30 Premiere had 3.373.932 subscribers.
If we compare these numbers for exercises, we are that Premiere registered in 2006 a descent of 156.464 subscribers as regards 2005. And the fact is that on December 31, 2005, the German payment operator had 3.566.454 subscribers.
The loss of the television rights of the Bundesliga, the championship of German soccer, is partly the big culprit of the recess of Premiere. In spite of this negative information, from Premiere one hopes to re-lead the situation and increase the number of clients during this year and in 2008 after the agreement reached recently with Sand for the transmission of the Bundesliga.
