Networks executives are running scared because of new statistics showing there are 2.5 million fewer viewers watching their TV shows this spring. The main reason they are upset is due to the loss of revenue generated by sponsors. They will not be willing to spend so much on advertising with so many people finding better things to do than to sit in front of the TV all the time. You can read more about it here .
The article also quoted one person as saying, "'We let them get out of the habit of watching television a little bit, and it's going to take some time to get these people back in front of their television sets,' said David Poltrack, chief researcher for CBS (owned by CBS Corp.)." I don't know about you, but the first part of that statement sounds rather sinister to me. "We let them get out of the habit." It sounds like they want to control us! Guess what, they do control far too many people. They feed people their own godless philosophies and make them covet whatever they happen to be selling at the moment.
Of course, there are many reasons they may be losing viewers, but would it not be wonderful if this trend continues? It would be good for every individual, for homes, and for the nation as a whole. May each of us determine to spend more time studying God's Word and spend more time with our families.
