Poll underscores the fact that unlike in U.S., most global viewers prefer live television.
Almost 90% of viewers prefer watching live television, although other modes of consumption, including streaming or downloading from a computer (27%), streaming from the Internet to TV (16%), using a DVR or other recording device (16%), and via mobile device (11%), are gaining in popularity, according to new data from research firm Ipsos.
The survey of 15,551 adults in 20 countries (including the United States) conducted Feb. 4 and Feb. 18, 2013, found that traditional ‘live’ TV watching is more popular (91%) among older respondents ages 50-64, compared with those younger/middle age 35-49 (88%) and under 35 (81%).
Indeed, watching TV programming on computer and laptop is most popular (35%) among respondents under 35 — a percentage that diminishes as viewers’ ages 35-49 (25%) and 50-64 (17%) increase.
Streaming TV content from the Internet was preferred by 20% of respondents under 35; 16% among respondents 35-49; and 11% among the 50-64 demo. The percentages fall even further watching TV on mobile devices. About 15% of respondents under 35 watch TV on a portable device; 10% among the 35-49 demo; and 5% among those 50-64.
Using a DVR or other recording device is most popular with those 50-64 (18%) compared with 35-64 (16%) and under 35 (15%).
Countries whose residents are most likely to choose watching live TV programming include France (93%), Spain (93%), Germany (92%), Turkey (90%), Argentina (89%), Sweden (89%) and Australia (89%).
Those rounding out the middle of the pack are from Brazil (89%), Italy (89%), South Korea (87%), Great Britain (83%), Mexico (82%), Poland (82%) and India (82%).
Those least likely to watch TV programming live are from Japan (82%), Russia (81%), South Africa (81%), U.S. (81%), China (80%) and Canada (77%).
The results seem to support a recent Rentrak Corp. study that found that nearly 67% of primetime network viewing occurs three days after a show’s initial broadcast.
