About This Report
Total media time is on a steady slide in the UK. By 2026, it will drop to below 10 hours per day, the lowest level in a decade. Digital media—particularly digital and social video—is picking up some of the slack, but it won’t halt the decline.
Table of Contents

The media environment in the UK continues to evolve, and this increasingly means a consumer pivot to digital channels. But while digital video in particular is gaining significantly, overall time spent is in decline.

Key Question: As total media time declines, where should advertisers turn to find their audiences?

Key Stat: Just before the pandemic hit, digital accounted for 27 minutes more media time than traditional. But the gap has grown significantly, and digital will be almost 3 hours ahead by 2026.
