Movistar's Unexpected Announcement: Their Customers Know Everything's Going Better Than Expected

Movistar has surprised many of its users with unexpected news that shows the good direction of its television platform Movistar Plus+. Despite the ups and downs it has faced in recent times, the platform continues to gain ground in the pay television sector.

By the end of 2024, Movistar Plus+ closed with a total of 3,521,000 subscribers. This represents growth compared to the third quarter of the same year when it had 3,504,000 subscribers.

This increase, although moderate, reflects a notable recovery for the platform. It seemed to have had consolidation problems after a period of fluctuations.

Movistar Begins to Show Signs of Recovery

This growth of Movistar Plus+ has caused positive expectations among users and analysts. It shows that the company has managed to overcome the declines and stagnations in its number of subscribers that were experienced at the beginning of 2023. During that year, the platform went through difficulties in maintaining subscriber loyalty, but it seems that the measures taken have paid off.

It is important to note that the declines in subscriber numbers are not exclusive to Movistar. It is a common phenomenon in a market as saturated and competitive as pay television. The variety of options available can cause fluctuations in demand.

The truth is that in recent months, Movistar Plus+'s proposals seem to have regained some of the users' trust. However, despite this recovery, the situation is not entirely calm as the television platform faces new challenges. One of the most recent and controversial changes has been the removal of AMC group channels, which were replaced by BBC Studios channels.

This decision has not been well received by all subscribers. Many have expressed their dissatisfaction with the loss of content and the change in programming.

Movistar Must Constantly Renew Itself

The replacement of AMC channels with those of BBC Studios has not been a minor change. Many users feel disappointed as AMC channels offered a wide variety of content. In fact, they had earned a place in the public's favor.

In contrast, the new BBC Studios channels, although with their own value, have not managed to convince all subscribers. Despite the controversy caused by these changes, the overall outlook remains positive for Movistar Plus+. The platform continues to maintain a solid user base and has managed to recover moderate growth in the number of subscribers.

This growth is an indication that Movistar's strategy, although not without criticism, continues to work. All this within a market that, by its very nature, is constantly changing.
