OTTAWA, July 8 (UPI) — Advertising revenue for the Canadian television sector increased only 1.8 percent in 2007, the Statistics Canada agency reported Tuesday.
That represents the smallest growth in a decade, although pay-per-view television and video-on-demand revenues increased a substantial 25.8 percent in 2007 to $197.8 million, the report said.
“Pay and specialty television channels accounted for almost 85 percent of private television profits in 2007,” the report said.
Public and non-commercial television experienced a drop from $1.3 million in 2006 to $1.2 million in 2007, StatsCan said.
Private conventional television advertising revenues nudged up fractionally to $2.1 million, the report said.
In 1997, conventional television accounted for 79.4 percent of all TV revenues, but in 2007, it represented only 55.9 percent, the report said.
