Mixed picture for East European pay-TV

The number of pay-TV subscribers in Eastern Europe is forecast to fall by 8 million from 81 million in the peak year of 2018 to 73 million in 2028.

It calculates that in two years, the number of subscriptions to either IPTV or OTT has grown by almost 18% in Western Europe, while the other accesses have declined by 7.5%. [...]
