The number of digital TV subscribers in Canada increased by 5 percent to more than 3.1 million during the second quarter, according to Ottawa-based Decima Publishing and its "Digital Domain" publication.
As a whole, digital TV providers in Canada added fewer subscribers between February/March and May/June compared to the previous three-month period, Decima said.
Canada's two satellite TV providers continued to dominate the digital environment during the second quarter, with Bell ExpressVu and Star Choice taking 62 percent of the market share. The new number, however, is down from 63 percent recorded in the first quarter. Cable grew its market share to 36 percent.
Decima Publishing said the percentages will be 60 percent for satellite TV and 38 percent for cable at the end of 2002, and 58 percent satellite TV and 40 percent cable at the end of 2003.
"The Canadian broadcast distribution industry is now firmly in transition from analog to digital and the competition is intense," Decima said in its report. More on the company can be found at: http://www.decima.ca.
