Tv sales are down/flat because we replace them every 5-10 years. We all went out and bought flat screens and it"s not time to get a new one yet. They"re on for about 8 hours a day in the house. The tv as the third parent theres no real benefit to watching tv at that age but they love it and theyre enthralled by it. Screenagers spend a lot of time on the screen : video games, computer, tv, etc. Gen y watches 30% less tv but more screens just not tv. The more hours you watch tv, the more accepting you are of stereotypes. Game shows (cheap, and easy to sponsor) but after 64000 question was fixed they disappeared you cant always believe what you see on tv first a thing. Daytime talk shows magazine shows first one the today show based off of life magazine. Reality tv is run by a characters persona.
