65% Broadband Users Engage With Second-Screen

Digital media research from Parks Associates finds 65 per cent of US broadband households engage in at least one second-second screen activity on at least a monthly basis. The research finds the most common activity is to search for information about the programme being watched.

“Most consumers favour a passive second-screen experience that complements the already immersive first-screen experience versus the highly interactive apps that typified the first phase of second-screen solutions,” said Glenn Hower, Research Analyst, Parks Associates. “Second-screen users are more likely to engage in supplemental activities, like looking up information while they watch TV, as opposed to social media activities. These types of apps open new partnership opportunities among content providers, data aggregators, advertisers, and service providers.”
