Nielsen's latest monthly TV viewing share tracker, The Gauge, showed significant year-over-year gains for YouTube, Tubi and Peacock, while streaming's overall share of U.S. TV watching was also up slightly.
Accounting for 7.9% of viewing in February 2023, YouTube jumped to a sector-leading 9.3% of total U.S. TV watching for people 2 and older last month, according to Nielsen. Fox's ad-supported Tubi also had a big market share jump over that span (from 1% of viewing to 1.7%), as did Peacock (from 1% - 1.4%).
Peacock, which ended 2022 with roughly 20 million subscribers, reported over 30 million as of the end of 2023.

Streaming's total viewership share was up from 34.3% - 37.7% over the one-year span. But the February 2024 performance was roughly flat versus most of 2023.
