Sky has announced its On Demand service saw a 50 per cent rise in requests for streaming and downloading content last year.
The telecoms company revealed the figure at today’s quarterly earnings call, claiming it has now ‘broken its own previous record.’
That’s thanks to a mega 2 billion download and streaming requests throughout 2014, which equates to around 60 requests every single second.
Luke Bradley Jones, Sky’s Director of TV Products, said: “
“This year we’re adding even more box sets of the shows that everyone’s talking about – giving people the chance to enjoy some of TV’s biggest hits like Fortitude, Broadchurch, and True Detective, ready to watch whenever they want.”
