A Nation on the Couch

What's everyone doing during the quarantine? They're watching television - on March 31, Nielsen said that streaming viewership jumped 22 percent during the week of March 16 versus the prior week. And that's paying off for some streaming companies.

Disney announced yesterday that Disney+, its new video service, now has more than 50 million subscribers. That’s almost twice as many as Disney reported on February 4, when it said that Disney+ reached 26.5 million subscribers during the first quarter.

Netflix has more than 167 million paying subscribers globally, 60.4 million of them in the U.S. Roughly 34.3 million of those people watched the Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness in the first 10 days after its release on March 20.
