Voters are Ditching Live Television


Poll: More Voters Watch Video Online from Politico
"Voters increasingly are ditching live television in favor of streaming shows and movies on their smartphones or tablets, according to new research commissioned by digital firms and shared with POLITICO — findings that suggest campaigns need to embrace new types of advertising to reach them."
No surprise here.  I know for myself that I stopped watching anything live on television (news, shows, advertising) years ago.  In the realm of news, it has actually become painful to watch the networks or cable news outlets.  If I corner the executives, I would send them into a time-out room so they could go and get themselves straight about what they are about.  Is it presenting the news?  Getting ratings?  Do they have any interest in REAL investigative pieces?  Or is it just about "scooping" the equally lame competition?
