Trends in binge-watching continue to be a more prominent part of consumers’ video consumption habits and represent the most engaged viewers amongst audiences. Looking at binge watching results is important as it represents an evolution in viewing habits away from the weekly cadence of traditional linear television – providing an alternative standpoint by which to assess advertising decisions as binge-watched content is often in ad-free environments.
The CW’s “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” remains at the top of our Binge Watched viewership chart this week with 62 thousand hours streamed, while Showtime’s “Homeland” came in second with 49 thousand hours streamed. HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” Disney’s “Star Wars Rebels” and MGM’s “Stargate Origins,” round out the top 5 with 37, 27 and 23 thousand hours streamed, respectively.

Usage rates by country are an important gauge of both overall digital media adoption and the growing demand for American media in international markets and can serve to guide investment decisions for both the Media and Information Technology Industries.
Looking across the Atlantic to the European market, we find that MGM’s “Stargate Origins” is tops for total streaming hours for all television content in Europe while Netflix’s “Black Mirror” is another popular selection. It should be noted that Stargate Origins was also a top selection in the domestic USA market, while Black Mirror has not appeared as a top watched series in the USA since December - further highlighting the diversity shown in consumers’ media preferences across markets.
