The latest report by Comscore shows that watching video on the internet viewing figures hit another record for September. The results were caused partly by TV season premieres.

Over 168 million U.S. Internet users watched online video during the month. Nearly 26 billion videos were viewed in September, as Google sites accounted for more than 40 percent of videos viewed online by Americans.

Google sites continued to rank as the top U.S. video property in September with nearly 10.5 billion videos viewed. YouTube accounted for 99 percent of all videos viewed at Google properties.

Hulu did well, it came in second showing a 20% rise from August figures with 583 million (2.2%). Next was Fox Interactive Media with 547 million videos viewed (2.1%) and Viacom Digital with 513 million (2%).

More than 168 million viewers watched an average of 154 videos per viewer during the month of September. Google sites attracted more than 126 million unique viewers during the month (82.7 videos per viewer), followed by Fox Interactive Media with 58 million viewers (9.4 videos per viewer) and Yahoo sites with 57 million viewers (7.5 videos per viewer).

Tremor Media was the top video ad network with a potential reach of 73 million viewers, or 43.3 percent of the total viewing audience. YuMe Video Network ranked second with a potential reach of 66 million viewers (39.4 % penetration) followed by Broadband Enterprises (BBE) with 63 million viewers (37.5%).

Interestingly, even though it was it second place, the Hulu share which was 583 million online videos shown throughout September only accounted for 2.2% of the online video market. Which does not sound so impressive.

So Youtube still blows everyone away, and even though Hulu have cemented the second place, who knows what the situation will be this time next year.
