However, the more important number is that more than a quarter of the respondents under 35 said they are watching TV exclusively online, with another 30 percent expected to begin doing so in the next two years. Still, online cable, direct TV or satellite is proving to be the primary method for half of the respondents over 35. Another result of the move toward online streaming services is the rise in binge watching, again, especially among younger viewers. ADI’s study also looked into the way that viewers consume news, sports and where they prefer to watch movies.
