ABC has once again cemented its position as Australia\u2019s number one digital live streaming network, increasing its margin of dominance in GfK Survey 7. Since digital live streaming became a standalone GfK metric in 2023, ABC has consistently held the top spot for 21 consecutive surveys \u2014 and this latest survey marks its strongest performance of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ABC\u2019s share has risen to 28.8%, up 2.8% from the previous survey and our highest share result ever. This was driven by a +17.6% year\u2011on\u2011year lift in streaming reach and underscores ABC\u2019s continued leadership in digital audio and its ability to connect audiences across platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted to see ABC not only maintain our number one position in digital live streaming, but also achieve our highest share of the year,\u201d said Ben Latimer, ABC Director Audio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese results demonstrate the ABC leading the way in engaging audiences on digital platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The momentum was further boosted by the opening Ashes Test, which delivered record streaming figures. On Friday 21 November, ABC Sport recorded 249,000 stream starts (live and on demand), with 186,000 stream starts on Saturday, 22 November \u2014 a +554% uplift on the 2025 daily average. With a packed summer of cricket ahead, ABC expects strong growth in live streaming audiences to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside our live streaming, ABC\u2019s overall network performance also showed impressive gains across the year to wrap up the last survey before the new year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
