We all know Twitch is a growing network, but who knew they were already this big. According to The New York times, Twitch actually outranks MTV, TruTV, and several other channels during peak hours. Several cable news networks were even outranked including CNN and MSNBC.

According to tracking numbers, Twitch brings in aroud 800,000 viewers on average for a month. Top Twitch streamers hold around 40,000 viewers during primetime hours for several hours at a time. Several major streams actually topped or came close to 200,000 viewers during periods of the day.

With such high numbers you can’t help but wonder how G4TV failed and not a single person has found a way to get the content to television. We even asked that when G4TV shut their doors.

The reason I ask? Well even with these high numbers, it is still noted that both Netflix and Youtube still outrank Twitch by miles. So those numbers seem to be much larger, and gaming is one of the most popular channels on Youtube.

With a billion dollars pumped into Twitch from Amazon, perhaps we could see that happen soon?
