DirecTV waves goodbye to 52,000 subscribers in first ever net loss of customers

DirecTV waves goodbye to 52,000 subscribers in first ever net loss of customers

Viacom's frenemy, DirecTV, has announced that it suffered a net loss of subscribers for the first time in its history. The revelation came in its second quarter filing, which claimed that the exodus is actually a purge - due to a tighter credit policy and a change of focus toward "higher quality" customers. The dip in numbers hasn't hurt the balance sheet, however, with revenues up seven percent to $5.65 billion, leading to a net profit of $604 million.
