Analysis: How free streaming is reshaping television’s future while viewers drown in choice

Parks Associates adds another layer to the picture, reporting that 45 percent of U.S. internet households now watch FAST services, a swift adoption for a category that barely existed five years ago.

While the adoption has been impressive, Parks Associates notes potential signs of a plateau in early 2025, suggesting the initial growth phase may be maturing. Yet viewing hours continue to climb.
