The study also looked at where viewers are going to find their next favorite.
Last year, Netflix took the lead as the favorite source for new shows. This year, the Conquering Content report shows that 34% of viewers now say their new favorite show is on Netflix, compared to 23% for traditional TV.
“Even if traditional TV platforms still account for the bulk of all TV viewing, online sources are now the clear go-to for consumers’ favorite shows—the shows they’re most likely to talk about with others,” said Peter Fondulas, principal at Hub and co-author of the study. “Equally notable is that Netflix, by itself, is now a stronger source of favorite shows than all linear TV networks taken together.”
