Television Viewing In The UK

The only "thing" other than sports that I'm watching this summer, an "An Amazon Original": Good Omens.

Starting Tuesday, next week, August 8, 2023, the third season Only Murders In The Building, on Hulu.

Nothing on network television except occasional NASCAR when I can find it. In background today, PGA tournament.

The number of viewers tuning in to watch broadcast television each week has seen the sharpest fall since records began, according to a new Ofcom report.

As competition for the nation’s attention intensifies between public service broadcasters and streamers, the proportion of people watching traditional TV each week has declined from 83% in 2021 to 79% in 2022, Ofcom research said.

Similarly, the media watchdog said the average time spent watching broadcast television per person per day fell from two hours 59 minutes in 2021 to two hours 38 minutes the following year.

However, according to the Ofcom Media Nations 2023 report, public service broadcasters (PSB’s) still dominate the UK’s most-watched list with valued national TV moments.

Despite the continuing decline of traditional broadcast TV viewing, BBC One and ITV1 are still the top two first destinations for viewers when they turn on their TV, with Netflix placing third.

The research suggests viewers recognise that PSB channels deliver “broadcast events that bring the nation together for a shared viewing experience”, with England’s quarter-final in the Fifa World Cup, the State Funeral of the Queen and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in the top three spots on the 2022 UK’s most-watched programmes.

• Lizzo: here, hold my Miller Lite.
