'We are pleased to report that strong momentum from trading achieved in the first calendar quarter of 2020 has continued into our 2021 financial year,' executive chairman David Craven said.

'The board remains focused on evaluating additional third-party funding sources to help leverage more licensed content and further increase the hours of TV content on offer to buyers,' Craven said.
