That's totally false, and the article doesn't even claim that. All this shows
is that trade scribes have a devilishly hard time understanding numbers, what
they say, and what they don't say.
The article says that TV is still being watched. Big whoop, Craig, I watch it
too. I even watch it ON THE TV SET. So what? You who seem incapable of
accepting, and even mysteriously fighting, the idea that people love their TV
programs, but have long since quit watching by appointment.
Why so doggedly mired back in the 1950s? By appointment TV is probably down to
no more than 40% of TV viewing time, Craig. And it could be considerably less,
considering how fast it plummeted in the past two years or so.
