'Game of Thrones' was 2018's most on-demand show, despite no new episodes
Game of Thrones is the number one show for Comcast video-on-demand, USA Today reports – even though the show hasn't aired a new episode in almost 18 months.
"The fact that that show is still ranked No. 1 across the board when it wasn't even current is pretty incredible," Brynn Lev, VP of editorial and programming at Comcast Cable told USA Today. "It shows just how large of a following that show has (and) how new people are still discovering it,"
Comcast examined data from its 22-million subscribers on network TV viewing behaviors (a.k.a. no streaming originals). After Thrones, the top on-demand shows were This Is Us, Power, 9-1-1, and The Good Doctor. Power actually beat Thrones for the top spot in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C., and almost half of the top 20 were on broadcast networks (e.g. not premium cable like HBO, Starz, or Showtime).
