Out-of-Home viewing doesn’t just happen around sports and news! Home makeover shows on HGTV have proven to be reliable content for locations with opportunistic OOH viewing because of their short duration, self-contained storylines, and because it’s not necessary to be up to date on previous episodes.
Opportunistic viewing occurs when someone is at a location for purposes other than TV viewing but chooses to watch while there. Fixer Upper continues to crack Tunity Analytics’ Weekly Top 10 Entertainment programs list with the show appearing twice (#3 and #4) during the week of May 27th with average audiences of 176,00 and 154,00 OOH viewers, respectively. The week of May 20th the saw HGTV’s “Love it or List” crack the Tunity Analytics Entertainment ranker twice.
