The measurement covers five weeks of U.S. television viewing from July 27 through Aug. 30. Disney’s 9.3% figure is the company’s total distributor share across its TV properties.
Disney Streaming accounted for 4.8% of TV viewing in a separate platform ranking, up 0.1 percentage point. That figure is not a Disney+ audience total.
