The tally was the best monthly TV market share since the report was established in November 2023.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Disney\u2019s success was primarily due to the college football playoffs, which represented the seven highest rated cable telecasts in January, and which upped overall ESPN viewership 84%. Overall, viewing to Disney-owned distribution channels increased 0.8 share points.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-285584 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/unnamed-85-e1740491792674.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Netflix clinched its highest TV share to date with 8.6% of overall household viewing. The streamer followed a robust December with an even stronger January as its watch-time climbed 7%. This was due in large part to the ongoing popularity of South Korea&#8217;s dystopian drama &#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; which generated 9 billion viewing minutes as January\u2019s top streaming title, in tandem with 11 other original series and movies that reached more than 1 billion viewing minutes each.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">January TV viewing overall increased 5% driven by a busy news cycle, which featured a 26% uptick in cable news viewing, including a 26% surge for MSNBC, 29% for Fox News Channel and 39% for CNN. Fox News Channel ultimately provided the primary boost for Fox at the total distributor level with its coverage of the presidential inauguration. Overall, Fox was up 12% in January and tied Disney for the largest monthly viewing increase among distributors, finishing with 7.6% of total TV (+0.5 pt.).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meanwhile, cable TV movie viewing in January dropped 22% versus December. This contributed to a loss of 0.6 share points for Hallmark, which had previously exhibited two consecutive monthly gains, leading it to finish the month with 1% of TV usage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The January TV market share dates included Dec. 30, 2024, through Jan. 1, 2025. Nielsen reporting follows the broadcast calendar with measurement weeks that run Monday through Sunday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dgLnU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe HERE to the FREE <em>Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney topped all media companies with 12% of household TV consumption in January, according to Nielsen\u2019s Media Distributor Gauge.
