In the first report of its kind on online video viewership of television shows, Nielsen reported today that “Lost” is the most popular TV show watched on the Web, followed by “Saturday Night Live” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”
“Lost” drew 1.4 million unique viewers in December, “Saturday Night Live” attracted 1.1 million, and the ABC medical drama lured 879,000 uniques, Nielsen said.
The measurement company tracks viewing on network Web sites but not on Hulu, which is a major player in the online television business. That site draws between 6 million and 9 million unique visitors a month watching a wide range of TV shows. Hulu does not report Nielsen Video Census data, Nielsen said.
However, as one of the first efforts to track specific show viewing on the Web, Nielsen’s report today is noteworthy.
Overall, online video viewership across the Web was flat in December, with about 125 million unique visitors watching 9.6 billion streams, about the same as in November.
