UK viewers won’t be tied to the TV schedule this Christmas holiday, according to Ofcom research, which shows we’re now using our TV devices more than any other major country, via devices such as smart TVs, mobile, tablets, games consoles, etc. Ofcom research suggests that 70% (31m) of UK adults will watch TV using free-to-air catch-up services such as ITV Hub, All4 and 5 On Demand this December. This is great news for advertisers using VOD in their marketing mix. Online adults in the UK are the most likely to watch catch-up TV on a tablet (16%) and use an online service to watch TV or films (81%). Despite these trends, traditional live TV remains the most popular way of tuning in, particularly on New Year’s Eve when more than nine in 10 viewers (11.4 million) watched live at midnight last year. Overall on average, people in the UK are watching 3 hours 40 minutes of TV per day, and seen steady figures over the last few years, which keep TV one of the most powerful mediums of all time.
