We May Like The Internet, But We Love TV
from the where-does-the-time-go dept
Americans are watching 4 minutes per day more TV than they were a year ago, a new study says. What's driving the increase? All that breaking news. Viewing by young people held steady -- what with them being on that internet thing all the time -- with the increase coming from people over 35, apparently illustrating why the network news is full of ads for Cialis and arthritis medicine.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Rolling News is not something you watch
I wonder whether the figures might not show a fall if they only counted the time that "viewers" were actually "viewing" their TV.

I don't watch TV. I buy DVD movies, or I pirate them if I get tired at how expensive they are.
