Tubi reaches 1.4% of total TV viewing time, according to Nielsen, further cementing its leadership as the number one AVOD player and most watched free ad-supported TV streaming service in the United States.
“Tubi is now watched as much as a top 5 cable network, as audiences continue to embrace our digital-first, 100% free streaming experience. The platform continues to scale with 47% growth in ad revenue and 65% growth in total viewing time Q4 over Q4, and we are executing an ambitious strategy to define the next generation of entertainment through our diverse content, passionate audience and innovative tech platform,” said Anjali Sud, newly appointed CEO of Tubi.
