Before we break down the monthly data, here are the shows that topped the TVision Power Score list between July 29 and August 4, 2024 thanks to their ability to both attract viewers and hold their attention throughout the show.
"Presumed Innocent" (AppleTV) held onto its top spot on the TVision Power Score for the week of 7/29/24 - 8/5/24. AppleTV had five shows make the list and Netflix, six.
Want to know which movies are best engaging viewers across all apps? Here are the movies that topped the Power Score list in July 2024.
Netflix's "Hillbilly Elegy" jumped onto the Power Score for CTV Movies in July as JD Vance was chosen to be the Republican nominee for Vice President. The movie is based on Vance's book of the same title. But the movie that earned the top spot on the list was "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" also on Netflix.
Viewers have been fairly consistent over the past year, with most households watching both broadcast and CTV, although there are more CTV-only viewers than Broadcast-only viewers.
Note, Platform Reach indicates TV services households have viewed at least once within the specified time period.
There was movement within the top five apps for Household Reach for the first time in 2024, with OEM Fast Apps (which includes The Roku Channel) taking the fifth spot on the list. The top four remain unchanged - Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and Amazon Prime.
Perhaps on the strength of the Olympics, Peacock jumped two spots to number seven on the list, with a Household Reach of 20%
Here we take a look at the type of content viewers watched in July 2024. Viewers consistently tune in for more episodic content than movies, and July 2024 was no different. 83% of the time, viewers tuned into shows instead of movies.

TVision measures Viewer Presence and Attention for every second of programming and advertising on television. Every time a person walks into the room, our technology detects who the viewer is, where they are in the room, and what their eyes are looking at. We do all this without personally identifying individual users, and without transmitting any images or videos. TVision’s data is collected from an opt-in panel of 5,000 homes across the United States and weighted to represent the country. All demographic data is self-reported by the respondents. Linear and CTV ad impressions data in this report is from May 1 – May 31, 2023 or May 29 – June 4, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.
The TVision Power Score is a completely new ranking designed to factor in both viewership and engagement when measuring the performance of CTV programming. The Power Score is based on the industry’s most comprehensive view of the CTV landscape - TVision measures activity across over 1,000 apps - and enables an accurate understanding of the relative performance of CTV content across any app. This new way to understand show performance will enable industry watchers to more quickly identify trending content and CTV’s hottest programming and even uncover hidden gems distributed through smaller apps.
The TVision Power Score factors in four key metrics: the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach. This combination of metrics was chosen to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers - regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.
TVision Power Score: TVision's Power Score represents how engaged audiences are for any given program. Our formula looks at (Attentive seconds / Seconds Available) x (Program Reach per Season / Publisher Reach).
Share of Time Spent: Compares the distribution of time spent viewing the app or program relative to the selected variable.
Binge Release: Model in which multiple episodes in a season are released at the same time
Weekly Release: Model in which shows release one new episode in a season at a time over the course of several weeks
New Shows: Show has aired new episodes within the last 30 days Older Shows: Shows has not aired new episodes in the last 30 days
