DirecTV: no of video subscribers in the U.S. 2014-2023

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of DirectTV video subscribers was around 11.3 million in the United States. Like many similar providers, DirecTV is a casualty of the increasing dominance and success of streaming services, a phenomenon not just isolated to the U.S. but which has spread across North America. DirecTV: background informationBroadcast satellite provider DirecTV was a subsidiary of American conglomerate AT&T Inc. as of the acquisition completed in 2015 and has been in business since 1994, when it was brought into the world by Hughes Electronics. Since August 2021, DirecTV is a new standalone company, with AT&T (70 percent) and TPG Capital (30 percent) as its owners. Decline in pay TV subscriptionsIn line with industry trends, as DirecTV has suffered losses, online TV services such as YouTube TV have grown in popularity, reflecting the changing preferences of U.S. consumers and their tendency to migrate to streaming platforms from satellite and cable providers. DirecTV’s key competitor Dish Network has also seen a decline in its customer base in recent years. Dish Network lost around eight million subscribers between 2014 and 2023, with losses increasing from tens to hundreds of thousands per year.

截至2023年第四季度，美国DirectTV视频订阅用户数量约为1130万。如同众多类似的服务提供商，DirecTV成为了流媒体服务日益主导地位和成功的一个牺牲品，这一现象不仅局限于美国，而是已经蔓延至整个北美地区。Broadcast卫星服务提供商DirecTV曾是美国综合企业集团AT&T Inc.的子公司，自2015年收购完成以来，自1994年Hughes Electronics将其引入市场以来，一直处于经营状态。自2021年8月起，DirecTV成为一家新的独立公司，由AT&T（持股70%）和TPG Capital（持股30%）共同拥有。付费电视订阅的下降：随着DirecTV遭受损失，行业趋势表明，如YouTube TV等在线电视服务越来越受欢迎，这反映了美国消费者偏好的转变及其从卫星和有线电视服务提供商迁移至流媒体平台的倾向。DirecTV的主要竞争对手Dish Network近年来也见证了其客户基础的下降。Dish Network在2014年至2023年间损失了大约800万订阅用户，损失数量从每年数十万增长至数百万。
