HarrisX Launches Streaming Media Research Panel, Partners with MoffettNathanson on Release

NEW YORK and WASHINGTON, July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- HarrisX, a leading market research and consulting company that specializes in online polling & data analytics and focuses on connected consumers, today released the findings of its new monthly Streaming Media Panel which tracks the emergence and consumer adoption of a new class of direct-to-consumer streaming content services.

The release of the panel's first quarterly findings is done in partnership with independent Media & Telecom research powerhouse, MoffettNathanson. HarrisX and MoffettNathanson will work throughout 2019 to create recurring quarterly analysis that tracks the marketplace evolution of new and existing SVOD, TVOD, AVOD and vMVPD players.

Findings from the initial report shows the dominance of Netflix among U.S. consumers, the ascension of Hulu over past quarters, and the potential loss of momentum of Amazon Prime Video.  It also shows that while Friends and The Office remain the top shows amongst U.S. video on-demand consumers, Netflix has aggressively invested in original, destination content to grow user engagement, that has driven fast user engagement.

"We're excited to expand our in-home and wireless consumer trackers to trace the adoption of new on-demand and video streaming services," said Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX. "And we are thrilled to partner with MoffettNathanson, the leading investment research house in this space, to release our data with them throughout the year."

"HarrisX is providing thorough and trusted insight on the current U.S. SVOD landscape. We look forward to working with them," said Michael Nathanson, founding partner at MoffettNathanson. 

The Streaming Media Panel will provide a monthly survey of the home communication and entertainment ecosystems among n=8,500 household decision-makers aged 18+.

HarrisX 'Streaming Media Panel' Methodology

The data in this report comes from the Streaming Services Panel of HarrisX's Total Communications Survey. The Total Communications Survey ("TCS") is a monthly survey that provides an understanding of the home communication and entertainment ecosystems among n=8,500 household decision makers aged 18+. TCS measures consumer attitudes and behaviors across TV, Internet, landline, and streaming services. The survey leverages data going back to 2007 to capture key performance indicators – such as consideration, perception & penetration, satisfaction metrics, willingness to recommend across service providers – and covers broad topic areas, such as loyalty, path to purchase, usage, switching and likelihood to switch, and customer service.

TCS is a recontact of Mobile Insights - the largest wireless survey tracker measuring attitudes and behaviours of mobile consumers.  TCS data is weighted to be representative at the household level both nationally and regionally.  Weighting parameters include service provider, age gender, marriage, income, owner/renter status, household size, and minority status.
