Media Placement Value™
We looked at 12 devices* in the U.S. to see who was winning the Top Promotional real estate.
HBO Max overtakes Prime Video again, which is no surprise with its individual title rankings. Apple TV+ and Disney+ drop two places, allowing Netflix and YouTube to get ahead by jumping two places each.

In terms of title performance, Peacock comfortably takes 1st place again with ‘Yellowstone’ capturing the highest MPV™. HBO Max dominates with an impressive 5 titles in the Top 10, ‘The Menu’ obtaining the highest score and contributing to just under 10% of the App’s total score.
