Americans Watching TV At Record Levels
The Nielsen Company announced today that TV viewing for the 2008-09 season reached a new high. Now the average American spends four hours and 49 minutes every day in front of the TV and the average household spends more than eight hours a day watching television.
However, this isn’t all good news for the big four networks (five if you count the CW), which actually saw a decline in viewers because we have so many other choices now via cable and the Internet. This is a 20 percent increase from just 10 years ago.
