Shift From Live Linear TV Viewing Is Increasing, Says Parks
The rate that people turn away from traditional live linear channel viewing is increasing, finds a report from Parks Associates. From 2014 to 2015, live linear viewing declined by 3 percent. But from 2015 to 2016 it declined by 6 percent.
Looking at broadband-enabled U.S. households, Parks finds that 60 percent of TV viewing is on-demand, non-linear programming. Among viewers age 18 to 34, just over a quarter of TV viewing is live programming.
After considering all variables, Parks finds age is the demographic that correlates best with linear TV viewing. Because young people will keep the habits they've grown up with, Parks senior analyst Brrett Sappington says pay TV companies need to adjust their offerings to meet the preferences of these viewers.
“这个行业, 和广告客户, continue to ask whether the model of linear TV viewing is broken beyond repair or if young consumers will someday adopt linear TV channels. The answer appears to be that viewers retain the habits that they have grown accustomed to over time,萨平顿说. "So, older consumers remain avid live, 线性电视观众, but young viewers are turning to on-demand consumption across connected platforms."
Viewers who don’t have a pay TV subscription still watch live video, getting about one-third of their live video from online sources. 付费电视用户, 另一方面, say they get three-quarters of their live video through their pay TV service.
