The Top CTV Original Episodic Programs, By Share of Time Spent - January 2023

Our Share of Time Spent metric measures the total time viewers spend with a program as a percent of all viewing for new, original episodic CTV content during the time period.  "Ginny & Georgia" topped the list as its much anticipated second season premiered in at the beginning of January. It was joined by the new miniseries, "Kaleidoscope," which intrigued many audiences with its unique concept of episodes that can be watched in any order. 

The Top CTV Original Episodic Programs, By Attention Index - January 2023

Our Attention Index identifies how viewers paid attention to programming compared to the average linear program, and is a good indicator of the strength of programming and its ability to keep people in the room.  For the second month in a row, Apple commanded three of the top  five spots—this time with "Mythic Quest,"  "Truth Be Told," and "Slow Horses."

The Top CTV Original Episodic Programs, By Co-Viewing Rate - January 2023

These are the shows that viewers watched together in January 2023. Our Co-Viewing Rate measures the percentage of time viewers watched the program with more than one person in the room. TVision's person-level insights enable measurement of CTV co-viewing and can provide brands and apps with accurate co-viewing multiples. Hulu's new adult cartoon series, "Koala Man," topped the list followed by the fourth season of "Fauda." Disney+, which often sees high co-viewing rates, made the list with its new "National Treasure" series.

The Top CTV Original Episodic Programs, By Binge-Watching Rate - January 2023

These are the programs that viewers were most likely to consume in sessions of three or more episodes at a time. Similar to our co-viewing list, another adult cartoon "Paradise PD" led the way for January's most binged show.
