OSN has recorded more than 30% subscriber growth in 2012 and expects similar growth levels this year, according to a statement from the Dubai-based pay TV network. OSN claims that its growth has been led by the launch of several industry leading innovations including OSN Play, the regions first digital TV platform.
David Butorac, CEO of OSN commented that the strong growth recorded in 2012 is a clear testament to the success of our compelling content offering, advanced digital innovations and our focus on leveraging the reach of the internet to offer customers more control, choice, content and convenience.
OSNs success is fueled by our steadfast commitment to invest in the latest technology to deliver the widest choice of premium and exclusive entertainment that reflects the varied preferences of viewers across the region. Our goal for 2013, which has already started yielding results, is to sustain the growth momentum by enhancing our retail presence, providing more premium English and Arabic content and expanding the OSN HD line-up. We will also strengthen our OSN Play and OSN Plus HD digital services, which are a perfect fit to the changing requirements of the region that has a high and growing penetration of Internet.
OSN recorded the highest growth in Saudi Arabia at 35%, underlining the strong inroads made in the market. OSNs current retail network spans over 420 touch points across the region and significant investments are being made by OSN to expand its presence by 20 percent this year, particularly in Saudi Arabia. The network is also focused on strengthening its presence in new growth markets including Qatar and Libya.
