Pay-TV needs more than live sports to survive
Add BT as a preferred source
SINGAPORE'S pay-television operators have been struggling as viewers shift to over-the-top (OTT) video services such as Netflix and Amazon.
Meanwhile, the live sports events that the pay-TV players have been banking on for years are no longer the sure fire draw they used to be.
As at end-March 2020, StarHub had 327,000 pay-TV subscribers while Singtel had 382,000. This was down from 528,000 and 423,000, respectively, at end-March 2016.
