BARB data shows the broadcaster’s streaming viewership increased by 36% in September compared to the previous year, marking the largest growth among major streaming services.
Viewership on the streaming platform reached a record high in September, exceeding 6 billion minutes watched. This surge was driven by popular shows like The Great British Bake Off, The Inheritance, Made in Chelsea, Celebs Go Dating, Hollyoaks, Educating Yorkshire, Taskmaster, Four in a Bed, and Married at First Sight UK.
Last September, four Channel 4 shows – Educating Yorkshire, The Great British Bake Off, Taskmaster, and Married at First Sight UK – were among the most popular with viewers aged 16-34 on streaming platforms. These shows collectively garnered over 599 million minutes of viewing time.
Channel 4 reached a record high for streaming on October 7th, with 7.7 million views across all devices.
Channel 4 continues to attract a relatively affluent and young audience compared to other commercial broadcasters. Over half of its viewers (58%) come from higher socioeconomic groups, and a significant portion (23%) are between 16 and 34 years old – making it one of the youngest streaming audiences.
Channel 4’s head of programming, Ian Katz, described the network’s recent results as a remarkably strong September.
Channel 4 has had a fantastic September, thanks to a mix of popular and new shows that are really resonating with viewers, especially younger ones. The success highlights how unique and engaging our content is.
We’re creating compelling content across all types of programming – from exciting reality shows and impactful documentaries to innovative dramas – all with a unique Channel 4 style.
“This is what sets us apart and keeps audiences coming back.”
