Multicast television networks are commanding a higher share of overall TV viewing in America each month, with digital channels like MeTV, Comet, Charge!, TBD and others drawing a larger portion of broadcast TV eyeballs and keeping free, ad-supported streaming TV platforms at bay.

According to Nielsen data shared with The Desk, over-the-air multicast TV networks accounted for 4.4 percent of all TV viewing in the latest measurement period, which spanned from late October to mid-November. Collectively, multicast networks had around one-sixth of all time spent with broadcast TV last month, which captured 23.7 percent of total TV time in American households.
