Online TV service sees viewership rise 130%

Irish-owned online television service AerTV has reported a 130% year-on-year increase in customer usage for the first quarter of this year.

The service — which was launched 18 months ago — attracted 500,000 unique visits during the first three months of the year, with over 25 million minutes of television being consumed.

The ComReg-regulated service is Ireland’s only free alternative to Saorview, where viewers can watch all the Irish channels online free on their PC, tablet or smartphone.
