British Sky Broadcasting has reported a 12% increase in full-year net profit.
The results were boosted by strong take-up of its offerings of television, broadband and telephone service.
The company, effectively controlled by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. through a 39% stake, has said that after-tax profit for the year ending June 30 was £906m, up from £810m a year earlier. Revenue was up 3% to £6.79 billion.
BSkyB says it added 312,000 households to its customer base during the year, taking the total to 10.6 million.
The company reported a 12% increase in the number of subscriptions to individual products, including line rental and high-definition television.
BSkyB shares were up 1.2% at 693 pence in morning trading.
