Almost 36 percent of the viewers who pay for Internet video content have increased consumption of primetime television.

Jayant Dasari, the author of the report also adds that terrestrial television is still a major source for viewers in major Western European markets like France, Italy, Spain, and U.K. Around 44 percent of the television viewers in these markets rely on terrestrial services.
