Paramount verzeichnet im April den größten monatlichen Anstieg in der Rangliste der Medienvertreiber, angetrieben von CBS
Auch Disney und NBCUniversal gewinnen Anteile
NEW YORK - May 27, 2025 – YouTube maintained its lead among media companies in Nielsen’s April 2025 Media Distributor Gauge report, representing 12.4% of audiences’ time spent watching television. This marks YouTube’s third consecutive month atop the Media Distributor Gauge, as well as its largest share of TV to date.
April 2025 is the first time that company rankings in the Media Distributor Gauge have stayed exactly the same month over month since Nielsen began tracking this data in November 2023. Disney held the second largest share of TV in both April and March, and this month represented 10.7% of total television. Disney’s 0.2 point gain over March was partly driven by cross-network coverage of the NFL Draft, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Disney also owned April’s top streaming title, Grey's Anatomy, which notched 3.9 billion viewing minutes and benefited from its multichannel and multiplatform availability.
Paramount hatte im April einen Anteil von 8,9 % an der gesamten Fernsehzeit und verzeichnete den größten monatlichen Zuwachs unter den Medienunternehmen (+0,4 Punkte, was auf der Grundlage ungerundeter Zahlen etwas mehr war als der Zuwachs bei YouTube). Mehr als die Hälfte des monatlichen Zuwachses von Paramount ist auf Zuschauerzuwächse bei den CBS-Tochtergesellschaften zurückzuführen. NBCUniversal rundete im April mit einem TV-Anteil von 8,2 % (gegenüber 8,0 % im März) die vier führenden Medienanbieter ab.
Warner Bros. Discovery maintained 6.7% of TV usage this month, boosted by a 58% lift in viewership to TNT, which televised 18 first round games of the NBA Playoffs (through April 27). WBD was also buoyed by its HBO series The White Lotus, which was the second most watched streaming title in April with 3.7 billion viewing minutes on Max. The White Lotus was also No. 1 in Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 during the weeks of 03/31/25 – 04/06/25 and 04/07/25 – 04/13/25, totaling 1.31 billion minutes and 1.25 billion minutes, respectively.
Das Intervall April 2025 umfasst die Daten 31.03.2025 bis 28.04.2025. Die Nielsen-Berichterstattung folgt dem Sendekalender mit Messwochen, die von Montag bis Sonntag laufen.
