June is the first month of summer, which, along with sunny weather, usually means audiences spend less time watching TV. This year, however, is different. Poles watched an average of 2 minutes more video content per day in June than in May, spending an average of 3 hours and 34 minutes in front of the TV screen.
This was mainly due to traditional TV and sports enthusiasm from broadcasts of the European Football Championships. Matches of the Euro2024 tournament played in Germany dominated Polish program rankings in June, with Polish team matches at the top of the list.
Streaming accounted for a slightly smaller TV audience in June (8.3% compared to 8.6% in May). YouTube was the top streaming platform with a 2.1% share of TV screen viewing. Netflix, with 1.7%, declined from 2.2% in May.
About The Gauge™
The Gauge™ was created to provide the media industry with a monthly analysis of television usage across key television delivery platforms. Nielsen published its first edition of The Gauge™ in the U.S. in May 2021.
About The Gauge™ Methodology
The data comes from Nielsen’s single-source panel consisting of 3,500 households and almost 9,700 panelists. The Gauge™: Poland is based on monthly AMR (Average Minute Rating) audience share data. The data is presented for people over 4 years old, broken down into cable, satellite, terrestrial television (both linear and shifted in time up to 7 days), and viewership from streaming (live streaming viewership of TV stations on OTT platforms is classified as streaming viewership). The “Other” category includes views of unrecognized content.
Nielsen Poland created this iteration of The Gauge™ using methodologies comparisons.
