The changing CTV landscape
Reports of television’s demise as a mass-marketing platform may have been greatly exaggerated by some of online advertising’s proponents in the past decade, but the numbers show the inevitable impact of media competition and fragmentation on broadcasters.
In one section of his presentation from February of this year, The New Gatekeepers, Benedict Evans looks at the impact on broadcast viewing as media has fragmented. A notable slide includes a chart showing Nielsen ratings for the top-rated US TV show, which was viewed by over 60% of TV households back in the early 1950s, but by barely 10% of households in 2020, a time of streaming and creator content.
So, what does connected TV (CTV) look like in 2023?
