Sky’s Chief executive, Jeremy Darroch, said today:
“3D has got off to a great start with around 70,000 customers having  signed
up to the service in the first few months. We are very happy with  the progress
of 3D to date and are really encouraged by the feedback we  are getting from
customers."
John Cassy, Sky 3D’s channel director, added:
“Around half of all 3D TVs sold so far in the UK are connected to Sky  3D,
with thousands more joining every week.   The hugely positive  response from
customers, all of whom are tuning into Sky 3D on a weekly  basis, gives us great
confidence for the future.  Since the launch on  the 1st October we have had a
number of world firsts – with the world TV  premieres of Avatar, Alice in
Wonderland and the Toy Story trilogy.
“Coming up we will have our 100th live sports 3D broadcast, further  cementing
our position as a world leader in 3D sports production.  We  are also continuing
to increase the breadth of our 3D programming,  including performances by
Diversity, natural history documentaries from  Sir David Attenborough, and
another world first, an upcoming broadcast  of ENO's new production of
Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia”.
