sounds about right, soon enough those things are gonna be nearly indistinguishable from traditional tv and streaming
I'm surprised it is so low. Maybe because it is combining Traditional TV and Streaming into one category?
"watching traditional TV is set to collapse to just 1 hour and 17 minutes."
...I wonder how this breaks down. Is most of it sports related? I don't even know what is offered any more on TV, so I don't know what I'm missing. I'm assuming it is still the standard mix of medical dramas, cop shows, and reality shows? Plus sports, and old people arguing/yelling on the standard Sunday political shows? And I'm Gen X.

YouTube is my TV app of choice. It’s amazing hyper-personalized content. YouTube premium is the only TV subscription I haven’t canceled.
TikTok, meh. I deleted all my socials. The scrolling apps suck.

I’ve given up on the BBC it might be churlish of me but there’s no UHD available on their AppleTV app.
I might as well stop my TV licence.
