New Insights On TV Everywhere, Millennials' OTT Habits

Meanwhile, the latest data from Parks Associates’ OTT Video Market Tracker confirm that while Millennials’ viewing consumption habits do differ somewhat from the broader population’s, they aren’t willy-nilly abandoning pay-TV options, at least for now.

Currently, 23% of Millennial heads-of-household use OTT only, versus just 15% of all U.S. broadband homes, according to the research.

However, 61% of Millennials subscribe to both pay TV and OTT services, also higher than the national average of 52%.

"Younger consumers are willing to subscribe to pay-TV service, provided the offerings align with their expectations," summed up Parks Associates research analyst Ruby-Ren. "In particular, Millennials show higher-than-average affinity for popular culture and premium movie channels, as well as programming for younger children."
