PBS has had this problem with programs such as Laurence Welk for
years. Guess what? They keep making more old people!
Yup, just like when I was a kid, my grandmother kept making me watch
Lawrence Welk when it was broadcast live...
But the "new" old people are growing up in a different era - they are
not hooked on "60 Minutes" and the evening news.
The one given is that older people probably have more time to watch
TV. Before my father-in-law passed away a few years ago he lived with
us and watched TV almost all of his waking hours.
Problem is that the >50 years old demographics don't spend their
money like the 18-49's, and are thus far less valuable to advertisers.
