Consumers are tuning in: news and entertainment

TV has never been better – with more choice and quality programming being offered to consumers than ever before. Representing every cable, telco, and satellite operator in the US, as well as streaming TV inventory, Ampersand helps brands reach desired audiences on top-rated series and special across all screens.

As more and more people are following physical distancing guidelines, they are also watching more TV than ever. National HUT levels have increased week over week throughout March and seems it will continue in weeks to come. 

The evolution of COVID-19 has brought upon unprecedented changes to our lives and businesses across the globe. As we collectively navigate the current unknown, Ampersand’s priority is to support our clients and partners through actionable data and insights.

The video landscape is crowded…very crowded.  According to the research firm Parks Associates, there are 271 online video services available in the United States. Netflix and Amazon remain the largest players in the Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) space, but that could change.  In a span of seven months, Apple TV+ launched and on its heels, the biggest traditional media companies are entering the space.
