Depends a lot on the person. I see a lot of 60+ year olds watching TV but younger tech-savvy 50 something’s watch TV substantially less or not at all. I have a TV - only gets turned on for elections, major political announcements or certain annual sporting events.
My teen years were in the early 80s and TV was simply the prime source of media at that time. My family religiously watched the national news at/before dinner. My parents still have that habit - but they’ve learned to record it and zip thru ‘crap’. Sometimes they now zip thru 30 minutes in a couple of minutes.
It also seems that the quality of the content has massively declined. On the rare occasion I am waiting somewhere and there is a TV on, I’ve been stunned by how low quality some of the advertising is - poorly produced voice overs that would have been inconceivable in the 80s.
I’ve met a few people who have their TV on all the time. I have never formed a positive opinion of people who have that habit.
