viewing audience

Those tuning in

A viewing audience is the group of people watching a particular television program, film, or other visual media presentation.

The term emphasizes spectatorship rather than mere numbers: The viewing audience gasped at the plot twist.

Often used in broadcasting contexts to distinguish TV watchers from radio listeners or live attendees.
