Despite strong tune-in for the start of the NFL and college football seasons, broadcast and cable TV viewership still didn’t measure up to streaming in the month of September, Nielsen said.
The firm’s monthly edition of The Gauge, released this morning, has streaming as a category at 36.9% of overall viewing, compared with cable at 33.8% and broadcast at 24.2%.
The broadcast category surged more than 12% in September, driven by a massive 222% uptick in sports viewing as NFL and college games continued to set records.
The news was less upbeat on the cable side. Despite a 40% increase in sports viewing (with Major League Baseball, the U.S. Open of tennis and other draws), cable usage held steady in September. As a percentage of the whole, cable fell to its lowest share since Nielsen began issuing Gauge reports in the spring of 2021.
Among the subsets of the streaming category, YouTube reached a record 8% share of viewing, equaling Netflix’s high-water mark from earlier this year and leading all streaming outlets for the first time. A new name has also joined the rankings: Paramount’s Pluto TV. The free, ad-supported service accounted for 1% of all viewing during the month, according to Nielsen.
Amazon Prime Video had 2.9% of the overall viewership pie, but notched a nearly 35% year-over-year gain in share due to the debuts of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power and Thursday Night Football. The latter began a long-term, exclusive run on Prime Video this season.
HBO Max surged nearly 10% over August levels, a bigger jump than any other streaming outlet reporting numbers to Nielsen (whose list doesn’t yet include Peacock or Paramount+), due to House Of The Dragon and Game Of Thrones.

David Benedict Charm, a sadly rare theatrical quality, is scarcely a fashionable theatrical virtue, but it’s nonetheless valuable. And, to audiences’ evident delight, it’s there in spades in director Daniel Evans’ wonderfully fluid farewell production at Chichester Festival Theatre. Turning Bill Forsyth’s 1983 Scottish eco-comedy-drama “Local Hero” into a musical, Evans and every member of his first-rate production team create an often-idiosyncratic delight, the stage equivalent of one of British cinema’s tender-hearted, quirky-yet-cosy Ealing comedies. What even he cannot give the show is true theatrical liftoff. An earlier version, directed by John Crowley, played Edinburgh to pleasing reviews in 2018. Crowley left the project during the pandemic and Evans took over, keeping no one but Scots playwright David Greig, the music and lyrics of Mark Knopfler (formerly of Dire Straits), and lighting designer Paule Constable.

“Smile” has become the latest original horror film, joining Universal/Blumhouse’s “The Black Phone” and 20th Century’s “Barbarian” to find low budget success thanks to strong word-of-mouth among horror fans.
