High viewership of sports, reality TV, our local soap opera and daily news have resulted in TVNZ+ reporting its biggest streaming month ever.
In June, TVNZ recorded almost 44 million streams across 1.27 million accounts, with the Euros, Love Island UK, Shortland Street and 1News at Six drawing viewers to the on-demand platform.
It’s this diversity in content, alongside live and free sporting events, that is driving success, says TVNZ Chief Content Officer, Nevak Rogers.
“We’re thrilled with the performance of our sports content on TVNZ+. The viewership for the Euros, and last week’s Wimbledon coverage too, demonstrates once again the huge appetite for free-to-view live sport in Aotearoa.
“When you bring that together with the depth and breadth of diverse shows, news and movies we have on the platform, it gives us confidence that we can continue to grow TVNZ+ and reach new audiences.”
Earlier this week, the UEFA European Football Championship final on July 15 reached more than 220,000 TVNZ+ accounts, with almost 429,000 streams. The match pulled in the biggest audience of the tournament, which overall delivered a massive 5.25 million streams across the four weeks of competition. TVNZ will be the home of the Euros again in 2028, when the tournament is hosted across the UK and Ireland.
One year of TVNZ+ Sports Hub has seen almost 910,000 (AP13+) accounts deliver just shy of 15.4 million streams.
