  • Watching Online Video Is a Daily Routine: 49% of respondents said they watch online video daily, with 7 hours being the mean time spent per week.

  • Short-form Content Reigns Supreme Online: 70% of respondents said they watch program clips that are shorter than 5 minutes in length.

  • Scheduled TV Programs are Less Relevant: 60% of viewers watch online video because they can watch it whenever they want.

  • Online Viewers are More Engaged with Ads: Multi-tasking is more pervasive when watching television ads than when watching online video ads; 58% of respondents said they do things around the house when ads come on TV versus 26% for ads online.

  • Heavy Online Video Viewers Can’t Be Reached with TV: Heavy online video viewers are reducing their television viewing yet they are increasing their online video viewing which indicates it will be even more difficult to reach these viewers via television in the future.
