Data Says 2.5 Million Less Watching TV
By DAVID BAUDER
NEW YORK (AP) - Maybe they're outside in the garden. They could be
playing softball. Or perhaps they're just plain bored. In TV's worst
spring in recent memory, a startling number of Americans drifted away
from television the past two months: More than 2.5 million fewer
people were watching ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox than at the same time last
year, statistics show.
Everyone has a theory to explain the plummeting ratings: early
Daylight Savings Time, more reruns, bad shows, more shows being
recorded or downloaded or streamed.
Scariest of all for the networks, however, is the idea that many
people are now making their own television schedules. The industry
isn't fully equipped to keep track of them, and as a result the
networks are scrambling to hold on to the nearly $8.8 billion they
collected during last spring's ad-buying season.

The TD (Target Demographic) is a YouTube culture. Watching
TV has evolved into making TV. Many outside the TD gave up on TV
years ago (internet, DVD's).
These guys don't get it because they can not afford to. I see nothing in
this article that takes up the issue of banal content.
