Global TV and Radio subscription market 2016-2020

About the TV and Radio Subscription Market

TV subscription is a paid service that is delivered to the users via cable or over the air. In 2000, the share of the analog cable TV segment declined due to increasing share of the digital TV segment.
Radio broadcasters offer radio subscription to the audience for free or on a paid basis. Radio broadcasting uses radio frequencies, ranging between 3 kHz and 300 GHz, to transmit data to a commercial audience. Commercial radio broadcasting is primarily carried out through AM and FM stations. AM stations limit the audio bandpass to 3-5 kHz, and FM stations transmit signals in the 30-300 MHz range of the radio spectrum.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global TV and radio subscription market to grow at a CAGR of 5.11% for the TV subscription segment and for the radio subscription segment at 3.46%, during the period 2016-2020.
