The figures are from a sample of 2,004 UK adults from the 17th to 19th March 2020. USwitch said results have been weighted to reflect a nationally representative criteria
Almost one in ten viewers (9.2 per cent) said they intend to pay for additional streaming services, with users now spending £15.30 a month on subscriptions, up from £12.50 in October 2019. This means that UK households are spending an extra £44 million a month on streaming services compared to October.
