In third place is the official Japanese Nintendo channel. We should remind you that it hosted a 40-minute presentation on September 13, entitled Nintendo Direct 2022, during which the company told more about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Splatoon 3 and other novelties. Interestingly, the English Nintendo channel is in fifth place in the ranking.
Fourth place in the ranking with a total of 749K PV is taken by the channel of South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. On September 16, the members of the group held a live broadcast to present their new music album called BORN PINK. Within half an hour they were answering the fans' questions, discussing the songs from the album and the shooting of music videos.
As for other members of the ranking, we should mention the NASA official channel — on September 26, it broadcast a live test of how to change the trajectory of the asteroid by crashing against the spacecraft. This was the first test of the Earth's planetary defense against collision with space objects.
Lofi Girl with its set of music broadcasts became the most-watched YouTube Live channel in September. It racked up 18.7 million Hours Watched in a month, a 10% increase from August.
The Philippine entertainment channel ABS-CBN Entertainment is in second place. In September, its broadcasts accumulated 16.5 million HW — 17% more than the channel had in August. It should be recalled that ABS-CBN Entertainment took fifth place in the ranking in the last month of the summer.
The Argentinean news channel Todo Noticias rounds out the Top 3. In August, it ranked seventh with 13.1 million HW, rising to 15.4 million HW by the end of September.

As for other interesting changes in the ranking, we should pay attention to the BillionSurpriseToys — English Kids Songs & Cartoon channel. It has long been the unchallenged leader in terms of audience reach owing to dozens of round-the-clock broadcasts with cartoons and music videos for children. In August, the channel amassed 37.8 million HW, significantly outpacing its closest competitors (Lofi Girl was in second place at the time with 17 million HW). In September, the position of BillionSurpriseToys seriously faltered. In a month, the channel accumulated only 11.8 million HW, which is 69% fewer from August. It is important to note that the total Airtime of BillionSurpriseToys increased, which means that the decrease in audience reach can be attributed to the outflow of viewers.
MPL Indonesia became the most-watched YouTube Live gaming channel in September. It was on air for only 71 hours, but in that time it accumulated 8.4 million HW. This was achieved by broadcasting the matches of the MPL Indonesia Season 10 in ML:BB. In August, the channel was ranked fourth with 5.1 million HW.
Liên Quân Mobile eSports — Garena, which broadcasted one of the largest Arena of Valor championships — Arena of Glory Winter 2022, is in second place in the ranking. The channel slightly improved its performance in August (+4%) and accumulated over 7 million HW by the end of September.
Third place in the ranking is taken by Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Indonesia, which also broadcast MPL Indonesia Season 10 matches. The channel accumulated 6.2 million HW in a month. In comparison, the channel had 3.5 million HW in August.
As for other results, the BeamNG Speed channel dropped sharply. It ranked first in August with 7.4 million HW, but fell to fifth place with 3.3 million HW in September.
Channels that covered Valorant Champions 2022 and Overwatch League are also in the Top 10 of the month. If we exclude the channels of organizations from the ranking and leave only personal channels, such content creators as DrDisRespect, TimTheTatman and MixiGaming make it into the Top.
