Millenials Don't Watch Live TV

Millennials are eschewing live TV in favor of self-recorded and on-demand content, according to a new study from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA).

Fifty-five percent of respondents in this 18- to 34-year-old age bracket watched time-shifted content vs. the 45 percent who watched live broadcasts. Other findings in CTA’s “Exploring Preferences for Personalized Content Consumption Experiences Study” include:

*Thirty-five percent of those over 35 watched time-shifted content vs. 66 percent who watched live TV.

*One in four respondents learned about new content through predictive recommendations made by the content platform.

*Seventy-nine percent of millennials have clicked on or watched the recommended content.

* The top sources for learning about new content: advertisements (70 percent) and recommendations (67 percent).  

*Only 38 percent of consumers who watch ad-supported content will watch an entire ad without being required “all or most of the time.”


*When watching an ad is required before their content begins, 57 percent said they ignore the ad.
