NEW YORK - September 16, 2025 โ€“ The dynamics of a new school year and the return of football collided in August to disrupt summer TV trends, signaled by gains for broadcast and cable for the first time since April, according to Nielsenโ€™s monthly report of The Gaugeโ„ข, the media industry’s leading snapshot of total TV and streaming consumption. Broadcast and cable combined to add a full share point over last month, representing 19.1% and 22.5% of TV, respectively, and ending a three months-long decline for traditional TV.

Broadcast notched its largest share of TV since May as viewership climbed 1.1% on a monthly basis. Across the five-week measurement interval, the peak in broadcast viewership occurred during the final week of the month (08/25/25-08/31/25), coinciding with the official return of college football. FOXโ€™s first Big Noon Saturday game of the season between Ohio State and Texas on August 30 drew the largest telecast audience this month with over 16.6 million viewers. ABC owned the next three top telecasts with college football games that each drew over 10 million viewers, including Notre Dame vs. Miami, Alabama vs. Florida State, and LSU vs. Clemson.

Time spent streaming declined over 4% in August compared to July and represented 46.4% of TV (-0.9 points). Although monthly viewing levels were down for each streaming platform in The Gauge in August, one streamer managed to gain share: Prime Video added 0.1 point and finished the month with 3.9% of TVโ€”its best so far in 2025, and just shy of its platform record (4.0%) set in December 2024. Prime Video benefited from two of its original series, The Summer I Turned Pretty เนเธฅเธฐ Ballard, in addition to an NFL preseason game on August 21. 

Netflix accounted for 8.7% of TV watch-time in August (-0.1 point vs. July), and continued to dominate the monthโ€™s top streaming programs: Netflix originals Wednesday, เธ™เธฑเธเธฅเนˆเธฒเธ›เธตเธจเธฒเธˆ KPop เนเธฅเธฐ The Hunting Wives, plus acquired series Sullivanโ€™s Crossing, took the top four slots and combined for over 22 billion viewing minutes across the five weeks of the interval. 

Coming out of several consecutive streaming-heavy months, the decrease in viewing from younger audiences caused by back-to-school variables tends to have a larger impact on overall viewing trends. Time spent watching TV was down 2% overall in August versus July, but viewing among kids and teens (age 6-17) was down 9% over the same period. Additionally, when isolating watch-time by week among this age group, viewing levels between the first and last weeks of the interval (07/28/25-08/03/25 vs. 08/25/25-08/31/25) dropped 21%. Streaming usage among school-aged viewers also exhibited similar declines, dropping 8% on a monthly basis in August, and losing 22% from the first week versus the last week of the month.
