The move underscores Channel 4&#8217;s digital approach focused on meeting young demographics&#8217; changing viewer behaviors. The new schedule pattern is set to launch on September 25.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, 64 percent of viewers watched the soap via streaming or E4, resulting in 556 million minutes of the show being streamed in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Channel 4 has been catering to younger audiences by releasing young-skewing shows alongside <em>Hollyoaks<\/em>, such as the U.K. and Australian adaptations of <em>Married at First Sight<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Katz, Channel 4\u2019s chief content officer, said: \u201c<em>Hollyoaks<\/em> has always been the youngest and most innovative soap, so it\u2019s fitting that it should be the first to embrace the changes in the behavior of younger viewers and switch to a genuinely digital-led release pattern. It was the first U.K. soap to move to a stream-first model last year, and this is the next phase of that evolution. We hope making <em>Hollyoaks<\/em> available on YouTube, as well as our own platforms, will introduce a whole new generation to the show.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollyoaks, the U.K.\u2019s first streaming-led soap, plans to make episodes available to stream the day before they are broadcast on E4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":19187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[233,87,5911,7528,7529,7530,7531,7532],"class_list":["post-19186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","tag-e4","tag-hollyoaks","tag-ian-katz","tag-married-at-first-sight","tag-married-at-first-sight-u-k","tag-married-at-first-sight-australia","tag-streaming","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hollyoaks Builds on Stream-First Model - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hollyoaks Builds on Stream-First Model - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hollyoaks, the U.K.\u2019s first streaming-led soap, plans to make episodes available to stream the day before they are broadcast on E4.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-09-12T13:53:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-12T13:59:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Hollyoaks-Channel4-0923.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/\",\"name\":\"Hollyoaks Builds on Stream-First Model - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-09-12T13:53:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-09-12T13:59:11+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hollyoaks-builds-on-stream-first-model\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Hollyoaks Builds on Stream-First Model\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
