It has been revealed that TVer recorded approximately 496 million monthly video views in December 2024. This is the highest number of views ever, breaking the previous record set in August of the same year when the Paris Olympics were held. In addition, the number of monthly video views on connected TV (CTV) also reached an all-time high of approximately 160 million. TVer announced this.
TVer's monthly video views exceeded 400 million for the first time in January 2024 and have continued to grow ever since. The increase in views on CTV in particular is said to be remarkable, at about 145% compared to the same month last year.
In December of the same year, the number of views of real-time and live streaming increased, and the "M-1 Grand Prix 2024" (ABC TV), which aired on December 22nd, featured exclusive content and original projects, including behind-the-scenes footage that could not be broadcast on terrestrial television, and livened up the tournament for about a month. In addition, all 47 matches of the "103rd National High School Soccer Championship" were live-streamed. In addition, special programs of music and variety shows at the end of the year were also viewed, both in real time and on catch-up.
The episode "Detective Tsuda Episode 3: Phantom Thief vs. Detective - The Targeted Swan Song" from Wednesday Downtown, which aired on TBS on December 18th, was viewed over 4.29 million times on TVer in the eight days since its release, breaking the previous record for the highest number of views in the eight days since the release of a variety show on TVer. In December, 18 episodes from the past were also streamed for a limited time, which increased the number of views.
In the drama section, the lineup of "Classic Drama Special" was strengthened, with a total of over 300 titles being distributed. Not only the October dramas that reached their climax, but also archive dramas from the past such as "Don't Call It Mystery" (Fuji TV) were well received, contributing to breaking the record for monthly video views.
