DD FreeDish has built a strong subscriber base over the past three to four years. And now has 45 million subscribers. However, India still has 125 million homes without television sets and these are expected to move to linear TV rather than move to streaming or connected TV.

Traditional media – television and radio – remain dominant in Kenya despite the rise of social media and streaming platforms. Recent data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) confirms their continued popularity. Television viewership remained consistently strong at 57% in the first and second quarters of 2023/24. Radio listenership was equally robust at 58% and 57% in the same period. While social media and online video have grown, their consumption rates still need to be higher than traditional media. Accessibility and affordability are key to the ongoing dominance of TV and radio, especially in rural areas. However, CA data emphasizes regional differences: Rural regions heavily favor radio. Urban centers see greater television and internet usage.

A Broadcast Research Council of South Africa (BRC) survey has revealed that the number of households watching traditional linear TV in South Africa has dropped 12.5% between 2019 and 2023. Despite the number of households in South Africa increasing 5% from 17.3 million to 18.2 million, households watching linear TV declined from 15.9 million to 13.9 million. Expressed differently, the proportion of households watching traditional TV has gone from 92% in 2019 to 76% in 2023. However, this does not mean people have stopped watching TV. When adding streaming into the mix, the number of South African households watching TV in 2023 increases to 16.5 million — almost 91%. “This survey has been conducted after a long hiatus and, in the aftermath of Covid 19 and other changes, we find ourselves in a completely new video-viewing world,” the BRC stated. “People are watching as much video as they always were but it is happening very differently now. This reflects international trends.” The BRC conducted an audience establishment survey last year to better understand how it needs to adjust its panel for measuring ratings. https://lnkd.in/d4x4Ym4v

#tv #uk #decline UK audiences have been diverting from traditional TV sets at the highest rates on record, according to a new report by Ofcom. The watchdog said with online streaming services gaining increasingly high popularity, the number of people watching shows on broadcast television faced the biggest decline since records began. Another notable shift in the broadcast TV landscape according to the Ofcom Media Nations 2023 report, is a steep decline in the number of programmes attracting “mass audiences”. The number of shows with over four million TV viewers has more than halved over the past eight years since 2022. Ofcom said it reflects fewer people tuning in to watch early and late evening TV news bulletins – as well as a steady decline in viewing figures for the three most popular soaps, Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale.
