FOX registra il maggior guadagno mensile, mentre diversi distributori di football NFL e NCAA registrano una crescita a due cifre a settembre.
ESPN e ESPN2 hanno registrato aumenti mensili superiori al 100% per contribuire alla crescita di Disney.
NEW YORK – October 22, 2024 - The return of the NFL and NCAA football kicked off significant gains for media companies in September, as Disney reclaimed the top spot with 11.3% of TV and marked the third consecutive monthly lead-change in Nielsen’s Media Distributor Gauge. Disney notched a 17% viewing increase in September and added 1.8 share points over August—the largest share increase among all reported distributors. Disney’s 17% growth can be attributed to gains from ESPN (+101%) and ESPN2 (+165%), and its ABC broadcast affiliates (+25%).
While NFL and college football games were primary drivers of various viewership upticks noted in the September 2024 Gauge report, the Media Distributor Gauge provides additional insight into how those upticks affected media companies. In addition to Disney, other distributors recorded double-digit viewing increases in September, including FOX (+18%) and Amazon (+13%). Like Disney, FOX also exhibited a considerable bump in viewing to its broadcast affiliates and was up 69% compared to August. Overall, FOX’s share of television viewing climbed to 7.3% (+1.3 pt.) in September, and Amazon finished with 3.7% of TV (+0.5 pt.), which was a new high water mark for the streaming distributor.
Ultimately, as viewers shifted their focus to football in September, eight of the 14 reported media companies experienced viewing decreases this month, including NBCU. Despite falling 4.1 share points in the wake of a record breaking August powered by the Olympics, NBCU would have likely exhibited growth similar to the aforementioned distributors. They still managed to finish in the top three, however, and came in behind YouTube with 9.3% of TV.
Poiché le abitudini di visione continuano a mostrare l'impatto della stagionalità e dello sport, un approccio multipiattaforma ottimizzato al coinvolgimento del pubblico, come abbiamo visto in agosto e settembre, sarà un importante meccanismo strategico nei mesi a venire.
Il mese di settembre 2024 comprende cinque settimane: Dal 26/08/2024 al 29/09/2024. Le settimane di misurazione Nielsen vanno dal lunedì alla domenica.
