I did not find that article interesting.
So the media tries to get the attention of young people, hunh?
That’s nothing new. It’s been discussed since television began around 1950.
Nobody could be unaware of it.

Did you read the article? It’s talking about how ad agencies are losing their target market because young people aren’t watching tv anymore. Actually, the author didn’t get to his point until the last paragraph, I would have been interested to see him develop it a little more. Hopefully the networks catch on to their changing demographic and put on shows that are aimed more towards us [ahem] old folks.

I think I have one friend who actually watches TV on a TV set as the programs are first broadcast. Maybe a few others who do so occasionally. Most people just use Hulu, youtube, netflix, and/or crunchyroll. They’re all far more convenient than having to show up at a specific time for a show.
Plus, most of what’s on regular TV isn’t worth watching anyway. I’m pretty sure most of my peers agree.
Article is spot-on. It’ll be interesting to see how the TV stations react (even though it doesn’t really affect me).

The industry, esp. those in the major networks (the big 4), really need to take into account DVR recordings and the advantage of the internet. Unfortunately, now more than ever, our attention is so divided with cable television providing niche programming to target a specific audience. I can understand targeting the youth demographic because once you get someone hooked, you have them for the foreseeable future.
I thought that was what the networks (at least in the US, can’t say for Canada) TVLand, Hallmark, and Turner Classic Movies.

The only network shows this old woman watches are a handful of sitcoms. The rest of my free time is spent online, doing what I’m doing right now, reading, learning latin, I need to exercise my brain and have always hated puzzles of any sort, and watching a lot of interesting shows on YouTube. Ewtn, Vatican TV, and other catholic groups post some really good programs on YouTube. I just recently watched two excellent films; one about Padre Pio, the other about St Philip Neri; both free on YouTube.

Advertisers don’t bother with older people because we are set in our ways.
They strive for brand loyalty among new, young customers.
I’m crying no tears for advertisers or agencies but it will be interesting to see how this plays out. The oldsters have the $$$ but hard to reach, the young’uns are jobless or, if employed, crippled with debt – besides not watching TV.
