流媒体占电视总收视率的 36.4%；Roku 频道占电视使用率的 1.1
编者注：我们已经改变了方法，将通过有线机顶盒收看流媒体原创节目（由尼尔森流媒体内容收视率确定）计入流媒体类别。这种收视以前被归入 "其他 "类别。
在 4 月份收视率下降 2.1%之后，流媒体使用率在 5 月份出现反弹，占电视收视率的 36.4%，受众继续利用日益增多的服务。虽然为更全面地捕捉流媒体使用情况而改变方法是月度上升的一个因素，但在月度使用率增长的 2.5% 中，约有一半反映了收视行为。另外，Roku 频道是最新一项在The Gauge 中获得独立覆盖的服务，5 月份的使用率占电视总使用率的 1.1%。尽管流媒体服务有所增长，但电视总使用率仍比 4 月份下降了 4.4%。
The breakout performance of the Roku Channel in May highlights the increasing footprint of free ad-supported television (FAST) services. Combined, the three FAST services that are independently reported in The GaugeTM (Pluto TV, Tubi TV, Roku Channel) are each comparable in usage to Peacock and HBO Max. And in aggregate, they account for more viewership than Amazon Prime Video.
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video each gained momentum in May, posting usage gains of 9.2% and 5.1%, respectively. Roughly half of the Netflix increase was driven by the methodology change, coupled with the fact that the platform had the top three streaming titles this month: Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (5.4 billion viewing minutes), A Man Called Otto (3.1 billion) and The Mother (3.0 billion). Capturing 3.1% of TV, Amazon Prime Video benefitted from the strength of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 和 Citadel, which combined for 2.7 billion minutes. And for the fourth straight month, YouTube maintained its stance as the top platform, gaining 0.4 share points to account for 8.5% of TV.
The 4.4% drop in total TV viewing in May was driven by reduced broadcast and cable viewing, which posted drops of 5.5% and 5.4%, respectively. The declines caused broadcast and cable to each surrender 0.3 share points. A 25% drop in sports viewing was largely responsible for the declines on broadcast, but viewership of the Kentucky Derby outpaced 海军罪案调查处, Young Sheldon, Blue Bloods, Ghosts 和 FBI. Cable ended its streak of share gains in the previous two months, but the extensive coverage of the NBA Finals on ESPN and TNT fueled a 12% increase in sports viewership, and accounted for the top four cable programs in May. And despite the traction that the CNN Town Hall generated, news viewing fell more than 11% from April. On a year-over-year basis, broadcast viewing was down 5.6% and cable viewing was down 13.7%.

方法变更说明
方法和常见问题
The Gauge 每月对观众在主要电视传播平台上的收视行为进行宏观分析，包括广播、流媒体、有线电视和其他来源。它还包括主要流媒体分发商的细分。图表本身代表了每月电视总使用量，并按类别和各个流媒体分发商细分出收视份额。
The Gauge"是如何制作的？
The Gauge 的数据来自两个单独加权的面板，然后合并在一起生成图表。尼尔森的流媒体数据来自全国面板中支持流媒体计费器的电视家庭子集。线性电视资源（广播和有线电视）以及总使用量基于尼尔森整体电视面板的收视情况。
所有数据均以每个收视源的时间段为基础。代表广播月的数据是基于报告区间内的 Live+7 观看次数（注：Live+7 包括电视直播观看次数和线性内容七天后的观看次数）。
其他 "包括哪些内容？
Within The Gauge, “Other” includes all other TV usage that does not fall into the broadcast, cable or streaming categories. This primarily includes all other tuning (unmeasured sources), unmeasured video on demand (VOD), audio streaming, gaming and other device (DVD playback) use.
Beginning with the May 2023 interval, Nielsen began utilizing Streaming Content Ratings to identify original content distributed by platforms reported in that service to reclassify content viewed via cable set top boxes. This viewing will credit to streaming and to the streaming platform which distributed it. It will also be removed from the other category, where it was previously reflected. Content not identified as original within Streaming Content Ratings and viewed through a cable set top box will still be included in other.
What is included in “other streaming”?
列为 "其他流媒体 "的流媒体平台包括任何未单独细分的电视高带宽视频流媒体。其他流媒体 "不包括旨在提供直播和有线（线性）节目的应用程序（VMVPD 或 MVPD 应用程序，如 Sling TV 或 Charter/Spectrum）。
线性流媒体在哪些方面做出了贡献？
Linear streaming (as defined by the aggregation of viewing to vMVPD/MVPD apps) is excluded from the streaming category as the broadcast and cable content viewed through these apps credits to its respective category. This methodological change was implemented with the February 2023 interval.
Hulu 和 YouTube 上的线性流媒体如何？
流媒体类别中不包括通过 vMVPD 应用程序（如 Hulu Live、YouTube TV）进行的线性流媒体。流媒体类别中的 "Hulu SVOD "和 "YouTube Main "指的是不包含线性流媒体的平台使用情况。
