Amazon’s $970 million bet on game streaming service Twitch continues to pay off – the service is now averaging more viewers than some major cable networks. In January, 962,000 people was the average viewership on Twitch. Sometimes there was more, sometimes there was less – but in general, nearly a million people were watching Twitch at any given point. That puts Twitch viewership on par with the likes of MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and ESPN. For comparison, 2017 total day viewership for Fox News Channel and ESPN was ~1.5 million, MSNBC was 885,000, and CNN was 783,000.
