Could the internet be the reason? (They don't even mention it in the article - very curious.)

- DaveStern 20y agoWhile I think the internet has helped a decline of television generally (simple math: people only have so many entertainment hours to spend, and those they spend online are coming from somewhere), I don't think it's specifically to blame for this rapid decline (unless internet usage statistics have shot up this spring, which I doubt).I would probably agree with the article that the most significant part of the decline is people moving to TiVo, bittorrent, DVD, streaming video, On Demand, or the myriad of other ways to get your shows at non-standard times that their numbers weren't counting.
