Broadcast Grabs More Time-Shifted Viewing

Broadcast network programming continues to see more time-shifted viewing -- in prime time and total day metrics -- than cable network programming, reports MediaPost.

In the second quarter of this year, TiVo Research says 26% of all broadcast prime-time programming gets time-shifted and 12% of all cable network programs, when looking at same-day viewing through seven days of time shifting.

Cable TV networks, by contrast, grabbed more live viewing of its programming than broadcast networks -- 88% to 74%.

Time-shifted viewing through three days represents the lion’s share of time shifting measured: 23% for broadcast; 11% for cable. A tiny percentage of time shifting occurs day four through day seven -- 3% for broadcast, 1% for cable.

Similar results were seen when looking at total day programming.



The CW records the greatest share of its prime-time audience via time-shifted viewing (through seven days) -- 44%. Fox is at 32%; CBS, 29%; ABC, 27%; and NBC 25%.

Highest percentage of time-shifted viewing among cable networks in prime time: MSNBC, 19%; Food Network, 15%; Fox News Channel, 12%; and USA Network and TBS, each with 12%; and CNN, 11%. ESPN scored one of the lowest time-shifting results -- 8%.
