Streaming service consumption is expected to grow in the United States, although nearly half of audiences (46%) feel overwhelmed by the growing number of services and platforms, according to data from Nielsen.
Despite some high-profile sport events and worldwide news, viewing in February 2022 was down 5.7% from January, and below the 5% average over the past five years, according to Nielsen data.
In July, broadcast recaptured television viewers, growing a percentage point thanks to high-profile sporting events coupled with the opening weekend of the Olympics, Nielsen noted in its latest report.
The average TV-watcher spends 64% of their time screen time watching. In total, streaming has grown by 26% with YouTube and Netflix contributing 6% of the consumption each.
