Introducing streaming TV: the new television
Streaming TV
Television consumption in Australia is changing. Television is no longer just consumed over a linear broadcast via the TV aerial. It is increasingly consumed via live streaming and on-demand viewing through an internet connection – what we refer to as streaming TV.
Streaming TV is growing rapidly. This changing TV viewing behaviour is being driven by connected TV penetration in Australia. Connected TVs are TVs that are connected to the internet, such as smart TVs and set top boxes like Apple TV, Telstra TV, Chromecast or Fetch TV. Two in three Australians now have a connected TV at home, and according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, in 2022 there were 11.9 million Australians who streamed video content on a connected TV, with 8.6 million viewing daily.
9Now
9Now is Channel Nine’s streaming TV platform. It reaches more Australians than any other Broadcaster streaming TV platform and features Australia’s most loved TV shows, such Married at First Sight, The Block, Lego Masters, Parental Guidance, Love Island, Travel Diaries, The Summit, Food Stars and Rush. It also brings the biggest sporting events in the calendar to Australian audiences, live and free, including the Australian Open, US Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, NRL and NRLW, State of Origin, The Ashes, UEFA Champions League and Rugby Union. And from 2024, the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as the Winter Olympics.
9Now is watched by 4 million Australians every month, reaching 29% of all viewers who have watched Nine’s content across all platforms (broadcast and streaming TV) in 2023. By 2028, we expect 9Now to reach around 50% of all TV viewers of Nine’s content across all platforms. The shift to streaming TV helps businesses like yours access TV advertising like never before.
