Nielsen has two different Gauge reports, but many advertisers may not know about its Ad Supported Gauge. While the methodology differs, the findings reinforce a significant gap between where Americans watch television and where advertising exposure occurs.
Streaming now accounts for nearly 50% of television viewing, yet just 22.3% of measured TV advertising exposure. As CTV advertising approaches $30 billion in 2026, the next major growth opportunity isn't simply attracting more viewers. It's closing the gap between where audiences watch television and where advertisers invest their budgets.
