Abstract
In the post-broadcast television era marked by technology convergence content consumption has undergone major
transformations and that process is still ongoing. With the digital age, multiple new opportunities to watch television
content on different devices, in different places and in changed social surrounding have opened up. Different devices, such
as tablets and smartphones, have become integrated into the content consumption behavior and have even become the
main device used for television or on demand content consumption. Consumers are migrating to streaming and on demand
services, and traditional media adapt to the new pace of changing viewer habits. The constant audience transformation
shows that multiscreen living rooms are turning into many single screen rooms through the usage of individual digital
devices as they become the primary source of content consumption. In order to understand the trends that are changing
at a fast pace, this paper will look into different aspects of new media consumption trends through quantitative research.
Understanding the current consumer preferences in the latest digital technological shift is an important element that helps
shape television program production, distribution and marketing decisions.
