While viewing on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and other services jumped 60 percent, to nearly 11 hours a month, viewership of traditional TV dipped 4 percent in 3Q14, to 141 hours a month, according to a new study from Nielsen. "Content is still king [but] consumers are steering their own content discovery experience," said Senior Vice President of Insights at Nielsen Dounia Turrill.
…And with streaming TV and movies increasing, it’s no surprise more connected-TV devices are finding their way into U.S. homes. According to Parks Associates research, ten percent of U.S. broadband households purchased a streaming set-top or stick in the first three quarters of the year. Roku leads the market, making up 29 percent of all sales; Google’s Chromecast came second with 20 percent of all sales, and Apple TV was third, with 17 percent. New-to-the-space Amazon Fire TV clocked in with ten percent of purchases.
