Heavy Viewers Watch Eleven Times As Much Online Video as Moderate Viewers

comScore and Media Contacts Study Highlights Behavioral Differences Among Online Video Viewer Segments

Heavy Viewers Watch Eleven Times As Much Online Video as Moderate Viewers;
140 Times as Much as Light Viewers   

 
RESTON, VA, February 14, 2008 – comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, and Media Contacts, the global interactive media network of Havas Media, showcased the results of a proprietary study of the online video audience at a Video Symposium in New York yesterday. The research was designed to understand the consumption habits and mindsets of Internet video users as they relate to online video, TV, and advertising and content across both media. The results revealed differences  in orders of magnitude: the heaviest viewers (top 20 percent of viewers) averaged 841 minutes of online viewing per month, while moderate viewers (next 30 percent) averaged 77 minutes, and the lightest viewers (bottom 50 percent) watched just 6 minutes each.

Online Video Viewer Segments             Average Minutes per Month
Heavy Viewers (Top 20%)                           841
Moderate Viewers (Next 30%)                        77
Light Viewers (Bottom 50%)                          6

The difference in consumption levels was astounding. The usage differences are reminiscent of the early days of the Internet,” said Jarvis Mak, VP of Research and Insight at Media Contacts. “However, the networks’ online distribution of first-run content will go a long way to bridging the gaps between heavy, moderate, and light viewers.”
 
Heavy Viewers Spend Time on Niche Video Sites
YouTube is the common thread among the heavy, moderate, and light segments – it is the top video site for all three and reaches the most overall video viewers (54 percent reach). Distinctive behavior for heavy video viewers is found by looking at the top indexing sites for this audience, revealing mostly niche video-sharing sites, each reaching less than 1 percent of the total U.S. Web population.

Moderate Viewers Enjoy Specific Online TV Content
By contrast, moderate viewers show a high propensity to view specific video content on broadcast TV sites, including WorldNow (ABC), CBS TV Local, ABC Daytime, Scripps TV, and CMT, rather than frequenting more general video-sharing sites.

Light Online Video Viewers are Heavy TV Viewers
The conventional wisdom says that the heaviest users of the digital channel are likely to be the heaviest consumers of media in general. However, the study found that light online video viewers are actually heavier TV consumers, with 46 percent of this group indicating they watch more than 13 hours of TV per week. By comparison, just 39 percent of moderate video viewers and 30 percent of heavy video viewers watched the same amount of TV.
 
“To discover how best to reach and message online different kinds of video viewers, we used the comScore data to further develop proprietary segments: ‘Content Explorers,’ ‘On Demanders,’ ‘Sight & Sounders,’ and ‘ Television Devotees,’ ” Mak continued. “Capitalizing on the explosive growth of online video, especially as consumers have started exploring media and entertainment options due to the recent writers’ strike, requires a deep understanding of the viewing audience driving the demand.”

What do we watch online?



This is interesting: people are watching much of the same stuff they now watch on tellie or DVD. So: time- and placeshifting more important than long tail? or is the long-tail the same as time- and place shifting. Partly yes, off coures. Ah, why is this all so obvious!

iPhone Flash Player

Dan says that iPhone will include flash in the coming months:

"Some folks who work closely with the iPhone product line are telling me that iPhones will support Flash video playback very shortly. While I know there has been a lot of speculation about Flash video on the iPhone not being possible due to battery constraints and other technical rumors, the only real thing stopping it from working is an agreement between Apple and Adobe. 


While I don't personally have an iPhone, getting Flash video adoption on the handset will go a long way in helping to make video a lot more portable for handsets. Yes, many phones already do video, but iPhone users amongst all others are always very adamant about showing what the phone can do and the moment it does Flash video, you'll see a lot of iPhone users showcasing that to anyone who wants to watch.


UPDATE: I am already getting a lot of questions about what "very shortly" means and it's a valid question. The answer is I don't know for sure, but based upon who told me the info to being with, I took it to mean this quarter"

Uitgesteld tv kijken wordt de norm

Kijkonderzoek: kijkgedrag verandert fundamenteel


16 januari 2008 - Door Erwin Boogert 


 
Nederlanders zijn in 2007 significant minder televisie gaan kijken dan het jaar ervoor en veel meer on demand gaan kijken. Met de opkomst van digitale tv en bijbehorende videorecorders verdwijnt de noodzaak live te moeten kijken.

Dat zijn enkele conclusies die spreken uit het jaaroverzicht dat Stichting Kijk Onderzoek (Sko) vorige week uitgaf. Het rapport is te downloaden bij weblog Mediaonderzoek.nl, dat gespecialiseerd is in onderzoekscijfers naar Nederlandse media. 

In 2006 keek een Nederlander gemiddeld 197 minuten per dag naar de televisiebuis. In het jaar 2007 daalde het aantal dagelijkse tv-minuten met 10,7 minuten tot 186,3. Omgerekend verloren alle zenders 5,7 procent van de aandacht van een consument, in 13 maanden tijd. 

Het enige medium dat beduidend veel aandacht wón van Nederlandse kijkers was niet een commerciële of publieke tv-zender, maar een plastic kastjes met een harde schijf dat in steeds meer huishoudens staat: de video recorder die met digitale tv en EPG is verbonden. In 2006 keek men per dag 0,7 minuut naar de video recorder, in 2007 was dat 1,9 minuut. Omgerekend is dat een stijging van 256 procent.

Per dag werd er in 2006 7 minuten naar dvd's gekeken. Afgelopen jaar steeg dat met circa 2 procentspunten tot 7,1 minuut.

Marktonderzoeker GfK opende eind november 2006 het congres TV en Internet 
met de opmerking: "In 2007 en 2008 zal de hard disk recorder, in of naast de tv, doorbreken en het kijkgedrag van Nederlandse huishoudens massaal veranderen. Uitgesteld tv kijken wordt de norm."

Internet TV = TV!!

Ik bedoel, 2.7 MILJOEN KEER BEKEKEN VIA INTERNET

Boer zoekt Vrouw ook hit op Uitzending Gemist lees voor 



HILVERSUM - Boer zoekt Vrouw is ook op internet populair. De afleveringen en extra video's van het KRO-programma werden in januari circa 2,7 miljoen keer bekeken via Uitzending Gemist. 

Dat is een nieuw record, aldus een woordvoerster van Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO) vrijdag. In de top 3 best bekeken programma's op Uitzending Gemist staan in januari naast Boer zoekt Vrouw, ONM (522.000) en Wie is... de Mol (451.000). De programma's van de publieke omroepen werden in de afgelopen maand in totaal circa 13,4 miljoen keer via internet bekeken. Een jaar geleden bleef de teller in januari nog staan op 5,9 miljoen. 

Uitgesteld

Het bereik van televisieprogramma's op internet gaat vanaf mei 2008 door Stichting KijkOnderzoek gerapporteerd worden naast de reguliere kijkcijfers. Het uitgestelde kijkgedrag, bijvoorbeeld via een harddisk- of videorecorder, wordt sinds 1 januari dit jaar al meegenomen in de kijkcijfers.

U.S. Internet Users Viewed 10 Billion Videos Online in Record-Breaking Month of December

U.S. Internet Users Viewed 10 Billion Videos Online in Record-Breaking Month of December, According to comScore Video Metrix


Writer’s Strike May be Contributing to Surge in Online Video Viewing Activity


 
RESTON, VA, February 08, 2008 – comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released December 2007 data from the comScore Video Metrix service, which reaches beyond simple site visitation to measure actual online video viewing behavior. The December 2007 report revealed that U.S. Internet users watched more than 10 billion videos online during the month, representing the single heaviest month for online video consumption since comScore initiated its tracking service. Top-ranked video property Google Sites saw substantial growth and extended its video market share gains, now accounting for nearly one out of every three videos viewed online.
 
“December represented a considerably strong month for online video viewing,” said Erin Hunter, comScore executive vice president of media and entertainment. “With the writer’s strike keeping new TV episodes from reaching the airwaves, viewers have been seeking alternatives for fresh content. It appears that online video is stepping in to help fill that void.”
 
Google Extends Lead in Online Video Market Share
Google Sites once again ranked as the top U.S. video property in December with 3.3 billion videos viewed (32.6  percent share of videos), gaining 1.3 share points versus the previous month. YouTube.com accounted for more than 97 percent of all videos viewed at the property. Fox Interactive Media ranked second with 358 million (3.5 percent), followed by Yahoo! Sites with 340 million (3.4 percent) and Viacom Digital with 238 million (2.3 percent).

MSFT denkt als een kabelaar

MSFT GAAT VOOR CONTENT

was het vroeger de kabelaar die de tollgate beheerde, nu proberen partijen als msft dat te worden. Met mediaroom op de STB, en ownership van key content wordt het net een kabelaar model: beheer de sleutel tot het scherm thuis en beheer een sleutel tot de content, en subs worden naar je toe gedreven...

of is dit een community-driven world waar we zelf bepalen wat we kijken, betalen voor de aansluiting en meedoen aan onze eigen reclame? Ik bedoel: Hyves TV, who needs MSFT?

KPN all-IP


Logisch: de IP capaciteit van kabelaars is hoger, maar kabelaars beginnen nu langzamerhand te ontdekken dat MHP en OCAP ingehaald gaan worden door IP en IP gerelateerde technieken. Dus: KPN moet opschieten anders doet de kabelaar het wel en is IPTV ineens ook een product van de kabelaars.... Time will tell.
