More of what we think will happen: 15 further predictions about TV, TV sports, and sports betting 2 We expect roughly the same pattern to continue in many countries in addition to the United States and the United Kingdom, with variations in years that have the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. 1Īs an example of the relative resilience of TV sports, consider that, although 16–34-year-old men in the United Kingdom watched 42 percent fewer minutes of traditional TV per day in 2018 than in 2010-almost exactly the same percentage decline as among 18–34-year-olds of both genders in the US-traditional TV sports watching went down only 24 percent for the same demographic. One of the reasons for this is that young people, especially young men, are betting on sports matches, and watching on TV those contests where they have “skin in the game.” In the United States, in fact, we predict that about 40 percent of all TV watching by men 25–34 years old will be driven by this factor. Young people around the world are watching less traditional TV (live or time-shifted TV, on any device) these days, but the sports category is an island of relative strength.
