TY - JOUR T1 - Do Online Video Platforms Cannibalize Television? JF - Journal of Advertising Research JO - J Advert Res SP - 71 LP - 82 DO - 10.2501/JAR-53-1-071-082 VL - 53 IS - 1 AU - Jiyoung Cha Y1 - 2013/03/01 UR - http://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/53/1/71.abstract N2 - This study investigated whether (and how) online video platforms displace television with respect to time investment and viewership. To that end, this study employed mail surveys of a random sample of Internet users throughout the United States. This study revealed that the existence of the time displacement effect depends on (1) what type of online video venues consumers use; (2) how much video content overlaps between online video platforms and television in general; and (3) what type of video content consumers watch online. Specifically, the current study found that the time spent using the Internet to watch user-generated videos and on video-sharing sites reduced the time spent watching television as a consequence. ER -
