Study: 23% Of Millennials Head OTT-Only Broadband Homes

“Younger consumers are willing to subscribe to pay-TV service, provided the offerings align with their expectations," Ruby-Ren Bond, research analyst at Parks Associates said, in a statement. "In particular, Millennials show higher-than-average affinity for popular culture and premium movie channels as well as programming for younger children.”

Among other findings in the study, Parks Associates said 60% of OTT video services in the North American market are subscription based, and that 64% of U.S. homes now subscribe to an OTT video service, up from 59% in 2015.
