Nielsen Data Shows Binging for Netflix's 'Lost in Space'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSAPRIL 24, 2018, 3:58 P.M. E.D.T.
NEW YORK ‹ An estimated 6.3 million people saw the premiere of Netflix's
"Lost in Space" within the first three days that the streaming service
made it available this month, a promising start that would make it one
of the outlet's more popular series after the phenomenon of "Stranger
Things."
The Nielsen company is starting to draw the curtain back on some of the
user numbers for streaming services, which have been reluctant to do so
on their own.
"We've had a lot of anxiety among our clients about sharing this data
with you," said Brian Fuhrer, senior vice president of product
leadership for Nielsen, on Tuesday, "because they're still learning it."
Nielsen's data also shows the impact of binging: the average "Lost in
Space" viewer watched the show for two and a half hours on those first
few days. Netflix released 10 separate one-hour episodes of the show on
April 13 and, within three days, nearly 1.2 million people watched the
last episode, a clear indication they'd seen the whole season.
Roughly 10 percent of the total time spent watching television now is
spent with streaming services, Nielsen said. The number approaches
one-quarter of all viewing among viewers aged 12 to 17. Netflix
dominates, with 49 percent of the streaming viewing coming on their
service. YouTube's 10 percent is the second-highest individual service,
Nielsen said.

For all of the attention that new series put on by the streaming
services gets, Nielsen said that 80 percent of the viewing goes to older
programs like "Friends."
Four years ago, 88 percent of television viewing came on cable or
satellite. Now that number is down to 79 percent, an indication of the
impact of cord cutting, Nielsen said.
On the broadcast networks last week, ABC's "Roseanne" was again the
week's most-watched show.
CBS easily won the week in prime time, averaging 6.7 million viewers.
NBC had 4.8 million viewers, ABC had 4.4 million, Fox had 3 million,
Univision had 1.6 million, ION Television had 1.3 million, the CW had
1.2 million and Telemundo had 1.1 million.
TNT was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 3.06 million
viewers in prime time. Fox News Channel had 2.37 million, MSNBC had 1.94
million, HGTV had 1.35 million and ESPN had 1.3 million.
ABC's "World News Tonight" topped the evening newscasts with an average
of 8.5 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" was second with 7.9 million
and the "CBS Evening News" had 6 million viewers.
For the week of April 16-22, the top 10 shows, their networks and
viewerships: "Roseanne," ABC, 13.27 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS,
12.91 million; "Young Sheldon," CBS, 11.67 million; "NCIS," CBS, 11.44
million; "Bull," CBS, 10.83 million; "The Voice" (Monday, 8 p.m.), NBC,
9.35 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 9.02 million; "Mom," CBS, 8.83 million;
"NCIS: New Orleans," CBS, 8.46 million; "The Voice" (Wednesday, 8 p.m.),
NBC, 8.39 million.

Which says Lost in Space was second behind Stranger Things, but the
chart says Defenders blew it away as well.
