The audience for streaming TV and movies has grown significantly over the past few years, finds GfK in a new report. 51% of Americans aged 13-54 now watch TV programs or movies using streaming video at least once a week, according to the researchers, with those figures (predictably) highest for the youngest age group (13-33), of whom 62% stream weekly. Streaming video is popular among Gen Xers (34-47) too, at 46% of respondents, but less so among Boomers (48-54; 30%).
