The Shift from Linear to Connected TV

Consumer preferences are increasingly shifting from traditional linear television to connected TV (CTV), with streaming services now surpassing linear TV in terms of hours watched. This trend is driven by the demand for higher-quality content and targeted advertising, particularly among younger and wealthier demographics who are less brand-loyal. As major broadcasters launch ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) services, they're adapting to this evolving market. Experts suggest that in three to four years, CTV is expected to surpass linear TV in advertising dollars as the industry adapts to this growing medium.
