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."
