Twitch hits 1M broadcasters per month, takes over corporate name
This Justin: Twitch Interactive has replaced Justin.tv, Inc. as the company's corporate umbrella name, though Justin.tv remains a product under the primary Twitch brand. Twitch, a video streaming service focused on games, recently reached 1 million monthly active broadcasters, 45 million monthly viewers and an average of 13 billion minutes watched per month. Viewers watch an average of 106 minutes per person per day, Twitch reports. At least you kept your New Year's resolution to watch less Netflix.
The spike in broadcasters and viewers comes from Twitch's PS4 integration, the company says: "Less than two months after the console launched, 20 percent of Twitch broadcasters were PS4 owners." Twitch is on its way to Xbox One as well.
