April was a pretty steady month for TV viewership — and Disney was leading the charge.
Along with its monthly The Gauge report, Nielsen debuted a Media Distribution report on Tuesday that assesses cross-platform TV consumption by media company. The Walt Disney Company took the top spot, accounting for 11.5% of total TV viewing. About 42% of that share was attributable to Disney+ and Hulu, Nielsen reported.
YouTube came in second place with a 9.6% share of TV in April. It’s worth nothing that, naturally, all of YouTube’s viewing comes from streaming.

Even though Prime Video was in eighth place with a 3.2% share of TV viewing (also completely from streaming), it still managed to have a breakout month thanks to the release of Fallout, which was Amazon’s most successful program to date and topped all other streaming titles in the month of April.
The show helped boost the streamer to the largest increase among streaming services this month with a 12% monthly increase for 3.2% of TV.
However, streaming was down overall from March to April, accounting for 38.4% of television viewing, according to Nielsen. Even YouTube saw a 3% monthly decline.
Broadcast was also down by 3% in April. It accounted for a 22.2% share of TV viewing, and women’s sports were
