'Squid Game' Ratings Dominate: Season 3 of Netflix's Hit Series Is Even Bigger Than You Think
The school-aged demographic also gave a boost to the Nielsen Gauge's other category, which contains a variety of sources, including video game console and set top box usage. Overall, the category was up 14% compared to May, but was up 41% among six to 17-year-olds.
Overall, Netflix saw a 13.5% viewing increase month-other-month, the largest of any streaming platform, to command an 8.3% share of TV. However, it is still well behind industry leader YouTube, who notched a share of 12.8% for the month.
Netflix's gains, which accounted for 42% of the streaming category's gain for the month, were due to 'Ginny & Georgia,' which was the most-streamed title of the month with 8.7 billion viewing minutes, and 'Squid Game' Season 3, which generated nearly a billion viewing minutes per day across the series in the final three days of the June interval.
Also contributing were acquired series 'Animal Kingdom' and 'Blindspot,' which earned the second and third most-streamed titles in June and combined for 11.4 billion viewing minutes (5.71 billion and 5.69 billion, respectively).
Disney, whose streamers Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ are included on an aggregate basis, finished in third with a 4.8% share in June, followed by Amazon's Prime Video with 3.6%, The Roku Channel with 2.5% and Tubi with 2.2%, Paramount, which includes Paramount+ and Pluto TV, with 2%, Peacock with 1.5% and Warner Bros. Discovery with 1.4%
Peacock saw the second largest monthly increase of 13.4%, fueled by the new season of 'Love Island USA,' which generated 4.4 billion viewing minutes and was the fourth most-streamed title of the month.
Broadcast's share of viewership fell 5% month-over-month and to 18.5%. It marks the first time the category has fallen below 20%.
Despite the drop, it saw a 17% boost from the NBA Finals on ABC, which represented the top seven telecasts of the month. In addition to the seven finals games, ABC took each of the top 12 telecasts in June, including the NBA trophy presentation and ABC's 'World News Tonight.'
Meanwhile, cable was flat compared to May, but lost 0.7 share points due to the larger increase in overall TV usage and finished June with 23.4% of TV.
It benefitted from the NBA Conference Finals on ESPN and TNT, which ranked as the top two cable telecasts, and saw a 12% bump in cable news viewing from a busy news cycle. It also was boosted by an upward trend in feature film viewing, as well as special programming, including Fox News Channel's Army 250 Parade, which ranked fifth among cable programs with 2.8 million viewers, and CNN's presentation of 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' which was seventh among cable programs in June with 2.4 million viewers.
Overall, the combined share of broadcast and cable fell from 44.2% of TV in May to 41.9% in June. Streaming's total share of TV surpassed broadcast and cable for the first time in May.

Tony Gilroy on the 'spooky' real-life parallels with Emmy nominee 'Andor'
'Andor' has been the "seminal creative experience" of Tony Gilroy's life. The filmmaker spent over five years steeped in the world of the 'Star Wars' prequel series, which follows resistance fighter Cassian Andor (portrayed by Diego Luna) during the nascent days of the Rebellion. On Tuesday, 'Andor' earned 14 Emmy nominations for its second and final season, including in the marquee race for drama series. 'It's hard to imagine that I'll ever be as deeply invested with as much and so submerged with so many people in such a huge endeavor,' Gilroy said via Zoom after the nominations announcement. 'It's a life experience as much as anything else. Everybody on this show really came away with a deeper sense of community and affection than they went in with.' Read more: Emmy nominations 2025: List of nominees In addition to drama series, 'Andor' was nominated for its directing, writing, cinematography, production design, costume, editing, score, original music, sound editing, sound mixing and special effects. Performances by Forest Whitaker (guest actor) and Alan Tudyk (character voice-over) were also recognized. A grounded, political spy thriller, 'Andor' is set during the five years leading up to the events of 'Rogue One: A Star Wars story,' the 2016 film on which Gilroy is credited as one of the writers. The series has been hailed by critics and audiences since its 2022 debut, captivating both longtime 'Star Wars' fans as well as those who don't know an Ewok from a Wookiee. The show's second season, which unfolds over the span of four years, provided key glimpses into the Galactic Empire's operations as well as the origins of the Rebel Alliance. And while the show is inspired by revolutions past, Gilroy admits it has been 'spooky' to see current events parallel moments from the show. In an interview with The Times, Gilroy discussed 'Andor's' nominations, real-life parallels and more. The conversation edited for length and clarity. Congratulations on the 14 nominations! How are you feeling? I'm trying to find a word that everybody you're calling doesn't use. I feel affirmed. It's very exciting, obviously. Where were you and what were you doing when you heard the news? I waited and I took a ride and took a shower and got out and saw my phone was hot. I waited to see if my phone was hot. Is there an 'Andor' group chat where you all can chat in a thread together? No. Well, maybe there is and I'm not on it. It's more text mania. Then you have to figure out who's on WhatsApp, who's on this, who's on that. Everybody's on different s—. It's actually really f— complicated, to be honest. Now I've got emails to answer, WhatsApps to answer. Read more: 'Star Wars' has always been a family saga. For 'Andor,' Tony Gilroy tapped his brothers What has it been like for you to be on this ride with this show as real-life events start to parallel what happened on the show? It feels like we're living through so much of it now. It's been spooky. We had to do a very interesting thing, I think, and figure out how to sell the show while this was all happening without us getting confused, or the world getting confused, or anything else. So I'm really proud. We went all around the world and really sold it really hard. It's hard to get a large audience to watch 'Star Wars' — it's strange, but it's really difficult. Along the way I think we managed through the relevancy and the politics of it as successfully as we could. I think now things are a little bit looser. We're a little bit more free with how we want to speak now so that's a little bit liberating. How hard is it to hold some of that in while you're trying to appeal to an audience? There wasn't anything really cynical about it. Everything we said was legit. The historical model is truly what we were doing, and we're not espousing an ideology in the show or anything like that. But we were also quite taken aback as things went along, at the amount of things that started rhyming with what was going on. Watching Sen. [Alex] Padilla get [handcuffed] while we're watching the Ghorman senate — there's things we did not expect to see lining up. It's really tough and it should be obvious what people think about it. One of the show's nominations was writing for Episode 9. Dan Gilroy, nominated! How does it feel to be able to share this moment with your brother? All three Gilroy brothers were nominated today! It's very pleasing to see that. There's so many things on here that really, really, really, make me smile. It's really great that [production designer] Luke [Hull] and [costume designer] Michael Wilkinson [were nominated]. All the technical things that came in for us today were really satisfying. All these awards are community property no matter how people talk about it. You know how many people it takes to stand behind every one of these episodes. They're just epic, the amount of people that are involved. As you're picking these individual episodes, how did Episode 9 stand out? What made it special for you? We were really torn about what to [submit]. We had three candidates that we really were really interested in. In the end, people felt — direction-wise — that the Ghorman massacre, Episode 8, was such a powerhouse. It's such a strong flavor and so memorable that we could not have that beat for direction. And we also felt that [Episode] 9, it's just so sophisticated. The spy writing and the sleekness of the politics and the sleekness of the storytelling in there and the scale of the issues for the characters that came up. That was always the favorite for script. Read more: Genevieve O'Reilly on Mon Mothma's pivotal 'Andor' speech: 'Her only weapon is her voice' Since you mention Ghorman, what was memorable about working on that episode for you? It's always an experiment to see if you're going to get the power out of things that you think you're going to get. [So,] to watch that expand beyond where we thought it was going to be, and to have it affect us, the people making it, more than we expected. To have the extras walk off the set on the final day of shooting, when they were finally released, all the people in that square after months and they went off singing the Ghorman national anthem on their own on the way out of Pinewood [Studios]. I'm very proud of it. That anthem is also nominated. That's really all I care about, Tracy. I've written a national anthem and it's been nominated for an Emmy. [Laughs.] Your time with 'Star Wars' is pretty much wrapped up. What has it been like for you, being steeped in this world for so long? 'Rogue [One]' aside, just being on this show the last five and a half, six years, this is the seminal creative experience, I'm imagining, of my life. It's hard to imagine that I'll ever be as deeply invested with as much and so submerged with so many people in such a huge endeavor. I can't imagine that will ever happen again. It's a life experience as much as anything else. Everybody on this show really came away with a deeper sense of community and affection than they went in with. To make a great show, and we're really proud of it, and to come away feeling the way that we feel about each other and what everybody did, I'm as proud of that as anything. How are you going to celebrate? I'm going to roll these calls and I'm going to go back to prepping the movie that I'm supposed to start shooting. I've got homework to do. I'm going to try and get an hour or two of work done before I go out for dinner with my wife. But I'll have an extra cherry in my old fashioned tonight.

On the latest episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the Live with Kelly and Mark host, 54, revealed that she and Consuelos, also 54, don't always see eye to eye about when to have sex. 'I don't know about you in your marriage, but I'm going to go personal. Are you an evening person or a morning person?' Ripa asked host Amanda Hirsch. 'Definitely not morning,' she replied. 'Do not breathe on me in the morning.' However, the television personality noted, 'Men are morning people.' 'He'll never learn,' she jokingly added. 'He's a guy.' However, Consuelos has had to change his ways after taking over as co-host on Live with Kelly and Mark in April 2023. 'I said to him, 'Here's the thing,'' she explained. ''There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can't always be your way. 'Cause it feels like 90 percent of the time it's your way. And now that we work together every day, it's gonna have to sometimes be my way, and my way's at night only.'' 'I have a retainer in. I gotta rip that out,' she admitted. 'And he's got his nasal strips on. It's like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people].' While explaining that men 'don't care' about things, she added the "d--- has a brain of its own' before joking, 'I'm already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.' While Ripa revealed the pair don't have sex every morning, she said there has been an unexpected benefit to working with her husband. 'The greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week,' she teased. 'Which is like a miracle.' 'May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction,' she jokingly added. 'He's in his mid-50s now. Shouldn't that be happening now? I was promised!' 'We found each other at the right time in our lives, we were really young,' said Ripa during an interview on SiriusXM Radio Andy show Quarantined with Bruce in 2020. 'We learned each other well. And with that comes a certain level of comfort and confidence and experimentation. We have fun. We enjoy [each other].' 'You check off all the boxes for me,' added Consuelos.
