Revealed: Netflix overtook BBC1 to become most-watched TV service in the UK for three months last year


Netflix overtook BBC1 for the first time as it became the most watched TV service in the UK for three months last year.

BBC1 pulled ahead again in December, despite Netflix posting a record reach of 46.4M after streaming series including UK original Black Doves. BBC1’s reach was 48.4m last month, thought to be put down to festive hits including Gavin & Stacey and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. The new figures come as it was revealed less than half of 16 to 24-year-olds are now watching traditional TV - live and catch-up programming on a television set at home - each week.
