2) 2020-Q1 – 58%
Quote from Justin Evans – Global Head of Analytics and Insights @ Samsung Ads:“What this suggests, from an advertiser perspective, is a major challenge that they have one slice of the population that is highly accessible in a linear format. And they have another much larger chunk of the population that seems to be better accessed through streaming. We think it’s posing a challenge to advertisers who more assertively manage their linear and streaming together as a way to accomplish holistic reach,”
Share of streaming viewing time w/ ad-supported (AVOD):
1) 2019-Q2 – 40%
2) 2019-Q4 – 44%
Increase in time spent since January 2020:

Wow: According to Samsung Ads, 26% of the smart-TV population accounts for 86% of the time spent w/ linear!
