TalkTalk and BT , partners in the YouView platform, have been removed from the Multiscreen Index of 100 leading TV providers, because they have stopped reporting subscriber numbers after failing to meet early expectations. Tim Warrington , investor relations director at BT , said its strategy was focused on value rather than volume. The last reported figures from BT showed that it had 1.74 million subscribers at the end of March 2018, but the number was down by 22,000 in a quarter. Tim Warrington , head of investor relations at TalkTalk , confirmed subscriber numbers were no longer released, but were steady at 100 . The move leaves YouView and Virgin Media as the benchmark firms for the the United Kingdom performance of pay TV.
