Nice. You should have put the previous year's numbers in braces - can't recall but it looks like their ad revenue went up 800m.

I wonder what rhe makeup Is of their user base. Amount if viewers of these new local channels of theirs vs other local channels etc. ‍♂️

Interesting how small a percentage of their revenue is from advertising when compared to the amount of airtime it gets.

The service could be so much better, if only they cared about their value proposition at all.

I recon if they got rid of adds, they would retain or even regain some subscribers.

So by continuously reporting on this piece of crap company they're effectively being advertised. Slick move!

money from DStv subscriptions

Correction, "from Premium subscribers", by milking the rugby/cricket lovers and subsidising lower packages (Compact) which watches much more expensive broadcasting rights of soccer compared to rugby.
Now offer Compact packages at much lower prices and voila :-(
But the wheel is turning
