Asked whether they watch traditional media more than older generations think they do, 57% of teens surveyed in the Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA’s annual study said they agreed with the statement, while only 14.5% disagreed. And 53% of participants reported that they discuss TV shows and movies more than content on social media. Teens once again said the most wanted to see relatable stories, and like last year’s findings, want less romance – 59.7% of this year’s respondents “want to see more content where the central relationships are friendships.” “Teens are telling us loud and clear – they’re ‘over’ forced and unrealistic romantic storylines,” said Alisha Hines, CSS vice president of research and programs. “Our findings show that what they really want is content, characters and friendships that feel real and reflect everyday experiences they can authentically relate to.”

Streaming sets a record.

Streaming viewership surged in June to represent 46.0% of television usage, according to Nielsen’s The Gauge.

Cynopsis reports Nielsen shows time spent streaming was up +5.4% over last month, with Netflix recording the largest monthly uptick among streaming platforms, +13.5% over May, and adding 0.8 share points to command 8.3% of TV.

Credit for Netflix’s upswing goes to original series “Ginny & Georgia,” which was the most-streamed title of the month with 8.7 billion viewing minutes, as well as the popularity of acquired series “Animal Kingdom “and “Blindspot,” which earned the second and third most-streamed titles in June and combined for 11.4 billion viewing minutes. Not to mention the release of the third season of “Squid Game,” which generated nearly a billion viewing minutes per day across the series in the final three days of the June interval.

OVER THE AIR IS THE PREFERRED WAY TO WATCH NEWS AND SPORTS.
Twenty percent of US internet households own a television antenna and 12% don’t have an antenna but plan to purchase one in the next six months, according to a report from Parks Associates, “ATSC 3.0: Impact and Opportunities for Video Services.” TV antenna owners report watching about 6.4 hours of over-the-air programming per week, second only to subscription-based video-on-demand streaming (7.6 hours per week). Among nearly 30% of antenna owners, OTA is the preferred method of watching live news, while approximately 20% prefer OTA to watch live sports and TV shows and movies. “The percentage of antenna owners has remained steady over the last few years, creating a stable audience for broadcasters at a time when they are losing revenues from lost retransmission fees as consumers abandon pay TV for streaming services,” said Alan Bullock, Sr. Contributing Analyst, Parks Associates. “ATSC 3.0 has the potential to pump new life into broadcast TV.” ~ Cynopsis
