People watch less TV because of online video

What, the good old traditional tube is slowly dying because of Youtube and similar services? Don’t worry, TV execs, I’m sure the dinosaurs also gave a good fight before they became extinct

It really doesn’t come as a suprise that a Great Britain study shows that 20% of users watch a lot less traditional TV because they spend their time watching mobile and online video, and additional 23% say that they watch a bit less normal TV for the same reason.

This is because old-fashioned TV is boring, folks. And it keeps hammering commercials in your brain at least 10% of the time. On YouTube and similar services, I can watch what I want, when I want it. God help the traditional TV and media houses when online video quality improves.

    Let’s see now…new TV program is aired for a few weeks, peaks interest, begin watching, wait for another week for next episode, the next week rolls around and what is aired, a re-run of the first show….OK, we’ll wait another week and see what happens, another week rolls around and the same show is re-run again….

    This has been happening for a few years now. Hero, Lost, mini series like Kingdom Hospital have all jerked the viewer’s chain. Add to that the mostly drivel that is generally broadcast and TV is bound to lose viewers.

    Another problem is that when a new program is presented and if it doesn’t grab the ratings that is expected within several minutes, it is immediately canceled. It used to be a new program was given a chance to build an audience, instead of immediate monetary gratification.

    I don’t bother watching anymore because one cannot depend on the idiots that run networks. Why should I spend my free time to become interested in something that in all odds won’t be there next week…….
