Tubi Unveils Insights on How Marketers Can Reach Cord-Cutters and Cord-Nevers in The Stream 2024

March 12, 2024

Tubi Unveils Insights on How Marketers Can Reach Cord-Cutters and Cord-Nevers in The Stream 2024

Tubi, the Most Watched Free TV and Movie Streaming Service in the U.S., Sees 59% Growth in Total Viewing Time; Reaches Over 8.5 Billion Streaming Hours in 2023

 

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today released findings from The Stream 2024: Streaming Insights for Marketers. In this year’s report Tubi, who partnered with The Harris Poll to conduct research, provides a deep dive into the behaviors and preferences of today’s streamers to help inform marketing strategies. 

“Viewers love Tubi because we provide frictionless access to a massive library of content where they can experience the thrill of discovering entertainment they can’t find anywhere else,” said Cynthia Clevenger, Senior Vice President of B2B Marketing at Tubi. “Tubi’s growth reflects a broader consumer shift towards ad-supported streaming and understanding next gen audiences is critical for us to create a differentiated streaming experience. We’re proud to extend these insights to marketers, sharing how to best connect with Gen Z and Millennials.” 

Highlights from the report are below:

Key Industry Trends:

  • Americans are dedicated streamers: 56% of viewers are streaming one to three hours of programming in one sitting, while 40% are streaming three or more hours at a time. Consumers estimate using about four different streaming services (3.8 average), with heavy streamers (defined as those who stream 15+ hours/week) using about five (4.7 average). To keep them streaming, viewers want a vast selection of shows and movies (69%), new or original content (61%), and different genres or categories (50%).
  • Americans are careful not to overspend on streaming: Americans spend an average of $120 every month on streaming services and TV packages – more than what they spend on gas ($112). With this high price tag, over half (53%) of Gen Z and millennials believe they’re overspending on streaming, with 71% canceling due to tiered memberships that force them to pay more to access certain content.
  • Viewers aren’t opposed to ads – and free streaming is in favor: 58% of viewers would rather watch ads while streaming and get an extra coffee every month than pay full price for an ad-free service – with 62% preferring free, ad-supported streaming over paid. Additionally, 58% of viewers would rather have a free account to themselves than a paid subscription they have to share.
  • Viewers expect the ad experience to be seamless and contextually relevant: The most preferred ad format among viewers is the standard ad break, similar to those on traditional TV, strategically placed at convenient plot point breaks in an episode or film (35%). Additionally, two-thirds (67%) of all viewers would rather watch an ad that’s related to the content they’re streaming. 
  • Gen Z and millennials want original, diverse content from independent creators: Three-quarters (74%) of Gen Z and millennials prefer originals to remakes and three quarters (74%) are interested in seeing diversity and representation when they stream TV and movies. Additionally, 71% agree they’d like to see more TV shows and movies on streaming that are independent or from smaller creators. 
  • Viewers are tuning into nostalgic content – especially younger audiences: Nearly all (96%) of Americans are interested in nostalgia watching, streaming shows that are 10+ years old. Classic hits also continue to find new audiences among younger viewers who may be discovering them for the first time – 67% of Gen Z and millennials turn to content that’s 10+ years old because “the style and quality is good.” 
  • Gen Z is rewriting the playbook for sports streaming: Two-thirds (68%) are keen on watching live sports or sports programming, such as NFL weekly game previews (45%) or the NBA G League (31%), and 42% dedicate three or more hours each week to live sports streaming, eclipsing those watching on traditional cable and satellite TV (24%). 
  • Viewers turn to streaming for connection and self care: 71% of viewers stream content with members of their household as a form of quality time. However, many viewers also view streaming as self-care, with 68% streaming TV or movies as an opportunity to carve out alone time. Sixty-eight percent also agree: “when I’m really invested in a show, I’d rather stay home and binge it than go out to see friends.”

Tubi, which saw 78 million monthly active users and 59% growth year-over-year in total viewing time, surpassing 8.5 billion streaming hours in 2023, continues to see momentum with incremental young, diverse audiences who are not typically watching traditional TV. Sixty-three percent of Tubi streamers are cord-cutters and cord-nevers, and 30% are unreachable on other major ad-supported streamers, according to MRI-Simmons’ November 2023 Cord Evolution Study. Also according to MRI, Tubi has seen 60% growth in the 18-34 demographic, 58%+ growth in Multicultural demos including Latine (67%), African American (58%) and LGBT (85%) audiences and 64% growth in female audiences, year over year.

About the Data: The survey referenced was conducted within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Tubi from December 22, 2023, to January 5, 2024, among 2,503 adults aged 18+ that stream video at least 1 hour a week.

TUBI ACQUIRES “BIG MOOD” SERIES STARRING NICOLA COUGHLAN AND LYDIA WEST FOR APRIL PREMIERE

February 29, 2024

TUBI SET TO PREMIERE COMEDY SERIES BIG MOOD STARRING NICOLA COUGHLAN AND LYDIA WEST THIS APRIL

The Six-Episode Comedy Created by Camilla Whitehill, Directed by Rebecca Asher and Produced by Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions Will Premiere Exclusively on Tubi in The U.S. & Canada 

SAN FRANCISCO, February 29, 2024 Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s ad-supported streaming service, announced today it will launch the new comedy series BIG MOOD exclusively in the U.S. and Canada in April. Starring Nicola Coughlan (“Bridgerton,” “Derry Girls”) and Lydia West (“It’s A Sin,” “Inside Man”) – the six-episode series is written and created by Camilla Whitehill, directed by Rebecca Asher (“Dead to Me,” Brooklyn 99”) and produced by Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions.

With real depth and big laughs, BIG MOOD is a vibrant and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when tested by the complexities of a serious mental illness. The series will explore the messy pitfalls and idiosyncrasies of navigating adulthood through wicked humor, ridiculous anecdotes, and unsettling truths.

“BIG MOOD is a powerful series that is unapologetically authentic,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “In the hands of creator Camilla Whitehill and director Rebecca Asher, Nicola and Lydia give beautifully painful and comedic portrayals that are rooted in truth. With the much welcomed addition of BIG MOOD to our slate of relevant comedies, Tubi is doubling down on content that appeals to our fastest growing segment of young and diverse viewers.”

“I’m ecstatic that BIG MOOD will soon be arriving stateside with Tubi, although I’m also partially convinced it’s a prank played by a cabal of my enemies, because it seems quite a lot too good to be true,” said Camilla Whitehill. “I’m hoping America loves it, and that they name an airport after me, which is way more likely over there because they have more airports than us.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Tubi to bring this fantastic, rebellious series to US and Canadian audiences,” added Lisa Honig, Senior EVP Distribution North America at Fremantle. “Tubi has a huge viewership who without a doubt will fall in love with Camilla’s raw, honest and funny writing, Nicola and Lydia’s unbelievable chemistry and Rebecca’s unique filmmaking talent. BIG MOOD will make you laugh and cry – it’s the ultimate binge-watch and we can’t wait for it to launch on Tubi.”

Best friends Maggie and Eddie played by Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Lydia West (It’s A Sin, Inside Man) have lived in each other’s pockets for ten years, through thick, thin, and multiple challenging eyebrow trends. But with the rest of their lives looming, careers hanging in the balance, and Maggie’s bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return to form, Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests. It’s a pivotal point in both their lives, bringing to the surface those all-important questions – could sleeping with your former History teacher be the key to happiness? Is a basement Rat Hotel a functional alternative to pest control? How do you stop your new psychiatrist giving you worry dolls? With their twenties behind them, Maggie and Eddie’s relationship faces the future – can it survive?

Joining the series’ ensemble is Niamh Cusack (“The Virtues”), Eamon Farren (“The Witcher”), Luke Fetherston (“Flowers in the Attic: The Origin”), Kate Fleetwood (“Wheel of Time”), Rob Gilbert (“Big Boys”), Rebecca Lowman (“Prime Suspect”), Sally Phillips (“Veep”), Ukweli Roach (“Wolf”) and Amalia Vitale (“Willow”).

The series is executive produced by Lotte Beasley Mestriner (“The Young Offenders”), Laurence Bowen (“The Salisbury Poisonings,” “The Responder”) and Chris Carey (“Crossfire,” “Wedding Season”) for Dancing Ledge Productions and produced by Georgie Fallon (“The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies”). The casting director is Lauren Evans (“Sex Education”). BIG MOOD was commissioned for Channel 4 in the UK by Commissioning Editor, Laura Riseam. 

Fremantle is handling global distribution for the series. The deal was brokered by Fremantle’s Lisa Honig, Senior EVP Distribution North America with Sam Harowitz, VP of Acquisition and Partnerships at Tubi.

Tubi Evolves the Brand to Celebrate its Vibrant, Passionate Audience

Tubi Continues to Scale Viewership and Engagement; Introduces a New Programming Slate and Fresh Look

SAN FRANCISCO, February 28, 2024 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s ad-supported streaming service, is rolling out a vibrant new brand identity as it continues to scale as the streaming choice for the next generation of audiences. In January, Tubi increased its share of total TV viewing to 1.5% according to Nielsen’s The Gauge report, and continues to see exceptional traction among younger, multicultural audiences. This scale, combined with a vast content library and a frictionless environment, make Tubi uniquely able to provide viewers with an entertainment experience they can’t get anywhere else.

“During a time of seismic change in entertainment, Tubi continues to grow and resonate with audiences as the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the U.S.,” said Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi. “This traction comes from our commitment to putting the viewer first, and we’ll continue to lean into this strength in the coming year with a series of new programming and product initiatives. Today we’re sharing a new brand direction that reflects our evolution and serves as the foundation for what’s to come.”

The new Tubi brand identity features more vibrant colors and unique iconography across all consumer touchpoints, including new sonic branding that has a bright, playful tone. The updated homepage and UI leverages symbols that bring more dimension to the traditional content grid including a nod to the Tubi rabbit hole, first introduced in the 2023 Super Bowl campaign, to bring viewers into the experience. 

“Our viewership growth is strongest with young, multicultural audiences and they love Tubi for the rabbit holes, the nostalgia and the content they can’t get anywhere else,” said Nicole Parlapiano, CMO at Tubi. “In this new brand system, we wanted to give them a fun, bold and engaging platform, that remains frictionless and 100% free, to indulge in the content that reflects their passions. See you in there.”

 

Sixty-three percent of Tubi streamers are cord cutters and cord nevers, and 30% are unreachable on other major free AVODs, according to the November 2023 MRI-Simmons’ Cord Evolution Study. Also according to MRI, Tubi’s growth has continued to gain momentum amongst young, diverse and female viewers with 60% growth in the 18-34 demographic, 55% growth in Multicultural demos including Latine, African American and LGBT audiences and 63% growth in female audiences, year over year.

Tubi has recently announced a new programming slate focused on culturally resonant content, which includes SHATTERED GLASS: A WNBPA Story highlighting four WNBA players through an exhilarating journey into the heart of professional women’s basketball, the BBC’s British coming-of-age dramedy BOARDERS, and the comedy-thriller series DEAD HOT. Additional titles available on the service for free include Scandal, The Edge of Seventeen, Batwoman, ATL, Frances Ha and more.

Developed in partnership with design agency Dixon Baxi, Tubi’s new brand identity will begin rolling out to all supported platforms across all markets starting today.

TUBI SET TO PREMIERE ORIGINAL COMEDY THRILLER “DEAD HOT” IN THE US AND CANADA

February 15, 2024

TUBI SET TO PREMIERE ORIGINAL COMEDY THRILLER “DEAD HOT” IN THE US AND CANADA

Created by Charlotte Coben and Produced by Quay Street Productions, the Six Episode Series Stars Bilal Hasna and Vivian Oparah Alongside Penelope Wilton and Peter Serafinowicz

SAN FRANCISCO, February 15, 2024 Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s ad-supported streaming service, announced today it will exclusively launch the new UK comedy-thriller series DEAD HOT, created and written by Charlotte Coben (The Stranger, Stay Close, Shelter, Fool Me Once), and executive produced by Nicola Shindler (It’s A Sin, Nolly, Happy Valley, Stay Close, Fool Me Once) in the U.S. and Canada. The deal was brokered by ITV Studios.

DEAD HOT is a compelling and twisty character-driven thriller exploring family, class, love, trauma, and identity. The six episode series is led by rising stars Bilal Hasna (Extraordinary, Layla) and Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane, Then You Run, I May Destroy You), with Penelope Wilton (Downton Abbey, After Life) and Peter Serafinowicz (The School for Good and Evil, The Tick) rounding out the cast.

“DEAD HOT is exactly the type of dynamic series that we are excited to bring to Tubi audiences who have long been passionate about diving head first into rabbit holes of engaging, thrilling and genre-bending series,” said Sam Harowitz VP of Acquisitions and Partnerships, Tubi. “Charlotte has created an incredibly clever world in DEAD HOT with storytelling that is brimming with wild twists and turns. Having partnered with Nicola and the team at Quay Street we have no doubt that Charlotte’s unique vision for this series will have audiences guessing right up until the very end on this wild ride!”

“At its heart, DEAD HOT is a unique thriller about heartbreak surrounded by humour and absurdity and I can’t wait for US and Canadian audiences to be gripped by the brilliant world that Charlotte Coben has created and that has been brought to life by our outstanding cast,” said Nicola Shindler, Executive Producer for Quay Street Productions. “With plenty of twists, turns, and surprises along the way, expect the unexpected!”

“I love Tubi’s innovative approach to accessibility in streaming and I am thrilled to be bringing DEAD HOT to the US and Canada with them,” said Charlotte Coben. “DEAD HOT for all!”

Set in present-day Liverpool, twentysomethings Elliot (Hasna) and Jess (Oparah) are best friends united by a bond of grief at losing Peter—the first and only love of Elliot and Jess’ twin brother. It’s been five years since Peter went missing in mysterious circumstances, and still reeling from the trauma, the best friends spiral into a hedonistic lifestyle, partying to numb their grief while clinging to a small hope that they will one day find out what happened. When Elliot meets Will, he starts to think he can put the past behind him. But when Elliot learns Will has his own dark secrets, just as Jess is contacted by somebody claiming to be her brother, it sets into motion a determination for the pair to find out if Elliot’s romantically cursed—or being targeted.

Dead Hot is produced by Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) and executive produced by Nicola Shindler. The series is created, written, and executive produced by Charlotte Coben. Laurie Kirkham (It’s A Sin, Finding Alice, Trust Me) is producer, with Sam Arbor (Heartstopper) as director on Block One and David Sant (Significant Other, Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything) as director on Block Two. Dead Hot filmed in and around Liverpool and the North West of England.  Dead Hot is produced in association with ITV Studios, which handles international distribution. Charlotte Coben has previously worked with Nicola Shindler as a writer on Netflix hits The Stranger, Stay Close and Fool Me Once.
