Groups of viewers
Audiences is the plural of audience—groups of people who watch, listen to, or receive some form of performance, presentation, or communication.
A play draws audiences, a podcast builds audiences, a politician addresses audiences.
The word emphasizes the collective nature of reception: The film found audiences worldwide.
