WBD edges above Polsat in only change in the top 10 content distributor rankings
Warsaw, Poland, 18.02.26: Nielsen, a global leader in audience measurement, data, and analytics, has today published its All Screens Video Landscape Report looking at data in Poland from January 2026. The report reveals that Warner Bros. Discovery has taken back the top spot in the distributor rankings, a position it has not occupied since May 2025.
The All Screens Video Landscape Report tracks total household viewership (defined as a combination of total reach and time spent) in Poland across four screens TVs, PCs/laptops, smartphones, and tablets. January's data saw Warner Bros. Discovery increase its audience share percentage from 17.59% in December 2025, to 18.35% in January 2026, with Polsat in second place with 17.54% and TVP taking the final podium position with a 17.21% share. All other rankings in the top 10 remain unchanged.
January also saw an increase in the time spent watching content in Poland. Both linear TV and streaming time spent increased by 5% from December 2025 to January 2026. This is a significant increase given that the new TV Universe (which is announced by Nielsen every year) represents new weighting rules for 2026 and subsequently accounts for an approximate 1% growth, meaning January did see audiences watching content for considerably longer.
In terms of screen share splits, Google viewership on the TV from December 2025 to January 2026 dropped slightly (down 2%) as more viewers sought out its content across other screens, whereas for Netflix, there was a 2% increase in viewership on the TV screen (86%, up from 84% in December 2025).
Lucyna Koba, Market Leader, Nielsen Poland, said: January's data marks a significant milestone in the Polish media landscape, with Warner Bros. Discovery reclaiming the top distributor spot for the first time since last spring. As is so often the case, it is a highly competitive battle for the podium' with just over one percentage point currently separating the top three distributors. It's a clear indication that the fight for engagement continues to be intense.
What is particularly striking is the 5% surge in time spent across both linear and streaming platforms. This year's exceptionally harsh winter and subsequent cold weather clearly acted as a catalyst for the increased time spent, keeping audiences indoors and anchored to their screens.
