Too bad the ABC player sucks. I'd rather watch on Hulu, but ABC doesn't share enough with Alec Baldwin's site.

[...] NewTeeVee notes that web TV still has a long way to go to catch up to traditional broadcasts. For example, Grey’s Anatomy had 879,000 viewers on ABC.com for the entire month of December, while one episode of that show on December 11 attracted more than 6 million television viewers. Still, a new study from Knowledge Networks out today finds that 1 in 5 web users between the ages of 13 and 54 are now streaming entire television programs online — that’s up from 1 in 10 in 2006.

@Bryan,

Fair enough. But I don't think they are meaningless. They at least give us a sense of how many people are watching videos on the respective sites and begin to illustrate how important Hulu is to NBC and FOX's overall online viewership numbers. Now we just need Hulu to cough up their numbers...

The numbers are basically meaningless without including the over 200 million streams from Hulu. These numbers make it seem as if ABC is dominating the online episodes game when FOX and NBC are clearly the leaders via Hulu.

I also have questions about CPMs, but it's highly unlikely that data will be made available. Jason Kilar from Hulu was pressed on that several times at NewTeeVee Live to no avail. At Watercooler, we have partnerships with Hulu and ABC.com which integrates their videos into our Facebook apps, and they still don't share that kind of info with us.

Now the big questions is... What CPM did they get for those 1.4 Million viewers? and... How does that compare to what Ask A Ninja's viewers and CPM?

Anyone want to chime in and make some noise about this so media buyers will see the value in web video series that reach more people online than LOST does?
