UK cable firm Virgin Media added 36,800 net cable TV subscribers in the first quarter of 2008, marginally up from the same period in 2007. Churn fell and the company boasted record triple-play penetration.
Virgin admitted that the cable TV additions were lower than expected, particularly given the previous quarter's Christmas-inflated figure of 61,100, but said this was "partly due to alterations to acquisition offers in order to emphasise higher-priced TV tiers."
Churn, the level of subscriber disconnections, fell to 1.2% (compared with 1.6% in Q1 2007), which Virgin said was the lowest level since 2004. That record triple-play penetration figure stood at 51.3%, compared with 42.9% in the same quarter last year.
Virgin's new VoD services now numbers 1.6 million users on a monthly basis, representing a reach of 48%. Average views per user per month in the quarter were 24 compared to 23 in the previous quarter and 11 a year ago.
In total, average monthly views were 36 million in the quarter, up 10% on the previous quarter and up 155% on the same quarter last year, Virgin said.

Virgin1 lines up rude awakening
UK cable network Virgin Media Television's entertainment channel Virgin1 has unveiled three "provocative" one-off factual commissions for The Rude Season, a summer line-up of primetime programming.
Shock doc My Free Boobs (1x60', working title), produced by Amaze TV, explores "the rising internet phenomenon" of social networking sites that offer women the opportunity to raise funds for breast implants by attracting male benefactors willing to pay for them.
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday Viagra (1x60'), also produced by Amaze TV, will mark 10 years since the UK's National Health Service approved the titular drug for use as a treatment for male impotence.
The new season also includes The Sex Lives of Twins (1x60'), produced by Endemol-owned Cheetah Television, which will take an "in-depth" look at "compelling and real stories," including the "growing trend" of identical twins who date the same person.
Virgin1 acting director of programmes Daniela Neumann said: "Virgin1's upcoming season embodies the very essence of original content that we're undertaking this year. Smart, informative and enquiring, these shows will push boundaries and really get people talking. These programmes are fundamentally intelligent docs on sex and sex lives today."
My Free Boobs, commissioned by Virgin1's senior commissioning editor Lucy Pilkington, and Happy Birthday Viagra, commissioned by Virgin1's senior commissioning editor Rebecca Johnson, are both being exec produced by Amaze TV's Sham Sandhu.
The Sex Lives of Twins, also commissioned by Pilkington, will be exec produced by Cheetah's Catherine Welton.
