New research from Parks Associates shows the average US broadband household now watches more than 17 hours of non-linear video per week, compared to 11.5 hours of linear video.

“Non-linear video accounts for 49% of the video consumed on the TV, and it is already the majority, 60%, of TV video viewed by consumers 18-24,” said Barbara Kraus, Director of Research, Parks Associates.

The research also shows that nearly 40% of US broadband households that use the smart TV as their primary connected device regularly access and spend at least one hour per week using Facebook on this device.
