Social video viewing reaches nearly five hours weekly on U.S. televisions

Social video now accounts for nearly five hours of television viewing per week, making up 20 percent of all video watched on TV, according to new research from Parks Associates. The findings, released Aug. 19 as part of the firm’s Streaming Video Tracker service, highlight how platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Twitch are shaping consumer habits and becoming integrated into the mainstream television experience.

Parks Associates also cited recent developments in creator-led content, including MrBeast’s $100 million deal with Amazon MGM Studios and the launch of “Tubi for Creators,” a new content hub from the Fox-owned ad-supported service Tubi.

“As the streaming market matures, consolidation and aggregation are reshaping the competitive landscape,” said Elizabeth Parks, president and chief marketing officer at Parks Associates. “Platforms are bundling creator-led, studio, and niche content into unified experiences to keep viewers engaged across formats.”
