Despite the rise of streaming, network shows are proving their staying power by drawing strong viewership on both linear and SVOD platforms. Variety found, using Nielsen data, that shows like ABC’s ‘High Potential’ and ‘Will Trent’ demonstrate that broadcast originals can still generate significant engagement, especially among younger audiences who prefer streaming. Meanwhile, streaming platforms are increasingly leaning into broadcast sensibilities—high episode counts, reliable weekly drops, and broader storytelling—suggesting a more integrated future for TV. As programming budgets tighten, networks remain vital content engines for their parent companies. The future isn’t a battle between streaming and broadcast, but rather a reshaped ecosystem where both can thrive.
