When it comes to representation of diverse identity groups on-screen, streaming shows do better than broadcast or cable, according to a new Nielsen study, “Being Seen on Screen: Diverse Representation and Inclusion on TV.” SVOD video has a healthy representation of Blacks, Hispanics and Asians, according to the study, which helps explain “why more diverse audiences are subscribing the streaming services than the general population.” Despite the fact that women make up 52% of the US population, they appear on screen 48.9% of the time on SVOD, 37.8% on cable and 33% on broadcast.
