Winter Olympics help push 7plus

PyeongChang over-delivers for Seven's over-the-top services.

Seven has revealed data for its platforms in February which shows 7plus, 7Olympics & Yahoo7 TV
grew 24.4% Year on Year, thanks considerably to the Winter Olympics.

SWM’s Chief Digital Officer Clive Dickens said: “The latest Nielsen data affirms the increasing strength of our digital products, and is proof that our company growth strategy is delivering results.

“These ratings reflect, of course, the outstanding performance of the Winter Olympics which far exceeded market expectations, and highlights Seven’s ability to deliver the biggest audiences from Premium event programming.

“We are particularly pleased with the early performance of 7plus which, after just two full months of operation, is already showing year on year growth.

“At our Allfronts in November we predicted we would reach an OTT unique audience of three million in April. Today’s results show we are well on track to achieve that.

“All of this means we are shaping up for a monumental Commonwealth Games, where we are confident we will see record-breaking audiences engage with Seven across our digital products and platforms to help drive great commercial outcomes for our clients.

“Another big winner of this month’s ratings is Broadcast Video on Demand (BVOD) reaching more Australians than the SVOD category, driven by not only the Winter Olympics but also the significant growth of 7plus and other leading FTA products.”
