Does the report say, are we talking all television viewing here, or just cable and over the air network? I can't imagine this includes streaming television, but who knows.

Hi Everybody,

 

Neilsen just gave out there report and now the 18 to 34 age group listen to radio more than they watch TV.  TV numbers are falling off the cliffand radio went up 3 percent in this age group.  Take care,

I’m 44, so not in the target group, but the only broadcast TV I’ve watched for years has been the morning local news.  Everything else is streaming, or physical media.

Well, besides all the streaming, we DVR a lot of stuff off DirecTV, including broadcast, but we never watch anything live except for sports. And even then, if it’s important, I run it through DVR, start an hour in, fast-forward through the commercials, and try to catch the end just as it really ends. I only watch commercials for fun. A little bit. Sometimes. But that’s the deal. I’m NOT going to watch commercials in my shows, ever. Take my money and make it stop. That’s what it’s all about.

So, yes, I wish broadcast TV and its commercials would just go away. Pay for everything. I’d actually subscribe to a commercials channel, just for fun. But I want to do what I want to do. All of the time, every day.

I see I’m not the only curmudgeon there. It’s the same for me, I Tivo whatever I am interested in watching so I can skip the commercials, they are just way to irritating and too often pander to the idiocy of the masses.
