Kids aren’t watching Disney’s channels like they used to. Ratings, revenue, and viewership have reportedly dropped across both its children and teen networks (Disney Channel and Freeform). Among its core demos, two-11-year-olds and six-14-year-olds, ratings have slipped 13% and 18% since last year, respectively. But they’re not the only ones—Nielson found two-34-year-olds’ primetime viewing has dropped a full 34% over the last five years. Streaming is changing kids’ TV, and cable-focused companies are playing catch-up. (WSJ, Fast Company)
