The Total Audience Report: Q1 2016

While the front sections of the quarterly Total Audience reports typically dive deep on media usage by certain demographics—age, ethnicity, income, etc.—the first-quarter 2016 report focuses on tables and exhibits typically included in the back of the report that provide comprehensive data on media behavior.

The report examines large trends in penetration, users and usage across all platforms; shows how different demos and race/ethnicity groups spend their media time; and explores the contributions of heavy users. One of the key findings of this quarter's report? An important milestone in US media has been reached: availability of subscription video on demand (SVOD) programming (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime) is now equal to DVR penetration, with both available in 50% of US TV households.
