The Gauge: Poland | September 2024

September typically brings changes in viewing habits of video content on TV screens which are primarily attributed to the start of the school year and the end of summer vacation. In line with these trends, TV viewership in September increased 3.2% compared to August, indicating that Polish audiences are beginning to spend more time watching TV following several months of summer holidays. The increase was also supported by new programming schedules for TV stations.

Viewers in Poland spent an average of 3 hours and 38 minutes a day in front of the TV screen in September, an increase of 7 minutes compared to August this year. Traditional television continued to account for a significant part of content consumption, and there was also a noticeable, steady increase in streaming's share of total TV viewing, increasing from 8.7% of time spent watching TV in August to 8.8% in September.

Netflix and YouTube remained the biggest players in the streaming market.

Among other streaming platforms, Pilot WP, Player and Canal+ Online posted impressive increases, which also translated into an increase in streaming's share of total video viewing on TV screens.
