| 5 Hours a Day?! Is that right??
(151 * 12) / 365.26 = About 4.96 Hours/Day.
I would really question how this study was conducted. Who was asked?
Were the people asked what video delivery method they used? How about those who don't watch TV at all?
Because if the figure of five hours is correct, then where to people find that time??
What I find curious, is that this is the first time I heard of a study that tries to measure how long each person actually watches television.
Before, I did hear of a study that suggests that a TV is on 9 hours a day in a typical American household. But that actually makes sense. Imagine this:
- Kid gets back from school, and turns on the TV.
- TV remains on until the last person goes to sleep.
- TV remains on while the people do other things.
- Sometimes people forget to turn off the TV, and it remains on all night long. |

1 edit | Where do they find 5 hours a day of programming worth watching?
Our TV watching is more around 1 hour per week. Except when Dancing With The Stars is on.
At 151 hours per month, that's 37.75 hours of commercials per month. And since every commercial is shown over and over and over and over and over and over again, probably 1 hour's worth of unique commercials.

Really not that hard to do that. Besides that would be an average. They may watch 3 1/2 hours a day M-F then on the week-end watch 9 hours a day. |
