Strong British, German demand drives Sky results


LONDON: Strong demand for pay TV in Britain and a record jump in customer numbers in Germany helped Sky Plc to post a 16% rise in first-half adjusted operating profit in its maiden results as a European pay-TV group yesterday.

Sky, which was formed from the combination of Britain’s BSkyB, Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia to serve 20 million customers in Europe, said it had also seen a significant decline in the number of people leaving their platforms.
