"This year, US TV ad investment will expand just 0.5% to $71.65 billion, a figure down from the $72.72 billion predicted in our Q1 forecast for 2017. As a result, TV’s share of total media ad spending in the US will drop to 34.9%, and is expected to fall below 30% by 2021." according to the report released in September.

And digital video consumption is on the rise. US adults will consume 1 hour 17 minutes of digital video this year, up 9.3% over 2016 according to the same eMarketer study.
