Program Genres Viewed Live on Cable

Apr 30, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Most cable programming is viewed live, but some genres are proving even more resistant to recording and delayed playback using digital video recorders. This information is important because when programming is watched live, there’s a much better chance the commercials airing during breaks will be seen and have a chance to do their job: convincing viewers to buy products. The following list of genres and how much they’re watched live was compiled by Hallmark Channel using data from Nielsen.

  1. 08 is continuing to be an exceptional year for cable. The strike sent viewers to cable in droves, and as the prior strike years ago proved, many are not going back to broadcast. Add the live viewing benefit to the host of other cable benefits, and the fact that summer is always the strongest quarter for cable, there has never been a better time for advertisers to use the more cost effective, higher impact medium.
