Oscars Move to YouTube, Aiming for Wider Audience
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
The Academy Awards are shifting their broadcast from ABC to YouTube, starting with the 2029 ceremony, to reach a wider audience amidst declining cable subscriptions. This move, similar to the SAG Awards shift to Netflix, aims to tap into a younger demographic and those who no longer subscribe to cable. The Academy hopes this adaptation will keep the awards relevant, reflecting a broader trend in entertainment consumption as traditional television viewership declines.
