Rolling off a reputation for cutting-edge Yank series including "House," "Lost" and "The Simpsons," Fox was Spain's most popular pay TV channel last year.
It upped daily viewers 23% to an average 1.25 million, for a 4.4% share of paybox auds, according to research company Multimedia Corp.
Spain's second-rated pay channel by aud share was Sony's AXN (4%), third was Sogecable's premium sports/movie service Canal Plus (3.3%), currently only carried by Digital Plus.
Spain's pay TV aud is building slowly. In December, pay TV took 16.2% share of the total audience, up from 14.5% 12 months earlier.
