I’m surprised that despite streamers now collectively having almost 50% penetration in UK households, they’re still so far behind in minutes watched. Also, almost all the most popular streaming content is stuff that has been, is currently being, shown on broadcast tv (Friends, Brooklyn-9-9, The Good Place, etc). Even Clarkson is basically just doing Top Gear with a different name.

Streaming providers have obviously still got a very long way to go before they are seen as TV channels in their own right, rather than just glorified catch up services.
