Nielsen Streaming Ratings
- Thread starter BrianLo
- Start date
Just want to add in case there are those who don't know, this includes linear TV cable and broadcast. So, for Disney, this included cable/broadcast ABC, FX, and Disney channels.
This is why Disney is behind YouTube and Neftlix in streaming, but ahead of them in all TV media/sources.
Who am I kidding... this is all Bluey!!
Of course, 'cord cutting' will still be an issue for Disney and the other TV studios.

I'm actually kind of shocked Disney beat out YouTube, but I guess if it's just on TVs then it makes more sense but I'm still surprised.

I'm not, when you count all Disney distribution channels they rule the media landscape. Its why the move into streaming was important in order to continue to expand out their distribution network amid a changing landscape.
There were a few months in which Disney was second on that chart.

Oh that's a monthly chart. I didn't realize that, I thought it was for the year. My bad.
Should we check in on Apple+ and see if he's OK?

Apple+ is like the cool kid in the corner wearing sunglasses pretending he doesn't care but secretly is just hoping someone notices him.
I get the vibe that one day a neighbor of Apple+, maybe the Roku Channel, will be interviewed on a local TV news station and they'll say, "Apple+ was a very quiet streamer. Kept to himself. You would never have thought he would do anything like this..."

I'm ridiculously happy that Futurama is in the Top 10 for the year. I'm used to it barely hanging on.
2 more season greenlit!!I'm ridiculously happy that Futurama is in the Top 10 for the year. I'm used to it barely hanging on.
Note that Nielsen has corrected the Top Movies list. Red One is supposed to be 10th, not 3rd.

Hey gang, you want to hear something hilarious? I got this card in the mail this past weekend... 
And I got all giddy and scanned the QR code and took their survey (I covered the code up partially so you can't steal my fun from me). For a moment I thought "Should I try to pretend to be someone else on this survey? Because God knows the Nielsen folks aren't going to care what an old, white, confirmed bachelor in the desert thinks about TV!"... but then I calmed down and thought "Just be honest!", so I was. After the survey I got a choice of three gift cards, and I chose the $20 Target card because I always love a good Target Run.
I asked the couple next door if they got a Nielsen card too, and they didn't. Then... silence.
But today, I received a text reminder and an email with a further survey that went far more in depth about who I am, how many TV's I have, what type of cable and streaming services I subscribe to, how fast my Internet connection is (1 Gig!), etc. And just a few hours later I got a reply that.... wait for it... I'm going to be a 2025 Nielsen Family!!!!
I'm going to have "measuring devices" (their words, sounds creepy doesn't it?) sent to me, and I get a nominal monthly payment for allowing them to track my every move via my TV screens. Me, a Nielsen Family! I can die a happy man now knowing I'm a powerful influencer. I just wish my Aunt Ingrid was alive to see this, she'd be sooooo jealous!
Starting in February, I'm going to be tuning my TV's to pretty much only the following shows, roughly in order of importance;
Gutfeld! on Fox News Channel
The Five on Fox News Channel
Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News Channel
Any movie starring; Rosalind Russell, Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon, and/or Elvis Presley
Reruns of The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Portlandia, Laverne & Shirley, Soul Train, and Bewitched
Season 3 of The Gilded Age on HBO
And at least an hour per week of Antiques Roadshow
Sadly, nothing offered by The Walt Disney Company and its media empire makes my list. And I do not have a subscription to Disney+ or Hulu, and the Nielsen folks already know that.
But I hope you are ready to see your future airwaves blanketed with that type of programming above, thanks to my all-powerful viewing habits. That's Burbank's fault, not mine. I'm a Nielsen Family!!!!

Your kidding? I've never gotten one, never been contacted by Nielsen, and never known anyone in my life ever who was contacted by them, much less an actual Nielsen Family. It was always so mysterious! I had no idea they still sent out actual tracking boxes to homes to hook up to individual TV sets; I'd assumed it was all done remotely now with real-time data from the actual broadcasters and streamers. That surprised me that there are physical boxes/equipment being sent to me.
I think I'm going to spend my $20 Target card on a bunch of popcorn and Fresca to watch all my shows with.
The second survey I got was quite exhaustive, but they know everything about me now and still seem to want me. I'm so excited to be the man to get The Love Boat back on the air in Saturday night primetime where it belongs! Stay tuned...

Yep, like I said I get one every other year, never sign up. I even get the JD Power surveys with a dollar begging for my opinion. That one I did actually do one time, but never after that.
So I must be on a list of desirable consumers.

That's incredible. Like I said, I've been a TV watcher for many decades and I've never known anyone who got an invite letter from the Nielsen folks, let alone accepted as a full fledged Nielsen Family. As you can imagine, I was giggling all the way in from the mailbox!
I re-read some of the stuff they already sent me. I'm not supposed to disclose this information on Social Media, and I'll keep it off of my Facebook but I doubt this weird little backwater forum counts as "Social Media", especially since we don't use real names here. I'm only supposed to discuss this with my "immediate household". That's a bummer, but I understand. Still, it would be so incredible to be approved to use the following pickup line towards last call...
Would you like to go back to my place and see my Nielsen box?
But I did call my sister tonight to tell her the news, who I feel is safe as she's on absolutely no Social Media, and the first words out of her mouth were; "You're kidding?!?... Aunt Ingrid would be so jealous!" And then we died laughing.
For such a young man, your life experiences seemingly know no bounds!
